Its a part of an antenuptial contract:

How the accrual system works

In most cases the accrual system is, perhaps, the fairest marriage system for the majority of couples.

When a couple marry according to the accrual system, the spouses do not share their property during the marriage, but when the marriage ends by death or divorce, each spouse acquires a certain right to the other's property.

The 'accrual' is the extent to which the husband and wife have become richer by the end of the marriage, in other words, the amount by which the spouses' joint wealth has increased over the period of the marriage. The spouse with the smaller accrual has a claim against the one with the greater accrual for half of the difference between the two amounts.

The effect of this system is that each partner retains as his or her exclusive property, for all time, anything that he or she owned at the time they became married. But anything that either spouse obtains during the marriage may have to be shared with the other partner when the marriage comes to an end. An inheritance, a legacy, a donation or compensation for injury received during the marriage will not, however, have to be shared on dissolution of the marriage as an accrual unless agreed to by the spouses in their antenuptial contract, or unless stipulated by the testator or donor

Hubby and I decided on the in community of property contract. We both didnt have much before we got married.
 
First marriage was in community of property but I learnt my lesson second time around and went anc with accrual.

When you said anti-nuptial, it sounded like you are against nuptials. I am sure you did not intend to create that impression, but that was the result :)

Perhaps the terms are interchangeable (or you've been watching too many US lawyer shows on TV) but mine is definitely an antenuptial contract.

It is indeed interchageable (and the reason that I know it is not from watching TV shows;))

DJK spoke of anti-nuptial ... which he later corrected as ante-nuptial.

Am I a grammar Nazi? Only on Sundays and Mondays!
