As more and more couples take out prenuptial agreements, in part prompted by high-profile divorces in which couples battle over how much each partner deserves, a new element of such documents has come into play.


The E-Nup relates solely to gadgets owned by a couple, enabling them to divide their technological assets between them should they split up.
