Binding Financial Agreements

Financial Agreements can be entered into before or during de facto relationships/marriage, after separation or after divorce. Financial Agreements before marriage are also known as ‘pre-nuptial’ agreements.

A Financial Agreement can cover:

• property and financial settlement (including superannuation entitlements)
• financial resources, and/or spousal maintenance of the parties or
• issues incidental to those matters.

A Legally Binding Financial Agreement means that:

• both parties need independent legal advice in relation to a Financial Agreement and
• a Solicitor must complete a Certificate confirming they have given a party advice.
