Balmoral Legal Family Lawyers Will Help You With Your Binding Financial Agreements
A Binding Financial Agreement can be entered into before, during, and after separation or divorce. When the Binding Financial Agreement is made after the breakdown of a marriage or de facto relationship, it is usually used as a settlement device. A Binding Financial Agreement entered into before marriage may be more commonly known as a ‘prenup’.
When you enter into a Binding Financial Agreement, you agree to contract out of the laws contained in the Family Law Act 1975 (in the case of people who are or were married) and the Family Court Act 1997 (in the case of people who are or were in a de facto or same-sex marriage).
If you feel that you may need the various protections contained in the relevant legislation, it is important to seek legal advice so that you are fully aware of what rights you may be contracting away.

Even though defacto prenuptial agreement or prenuptial agreement documents are often confused with binding financial agreements, Perth family lawyers advise there is a crucial difference. While a prenuptial agreement must be written and signed beforehand, a binding financial agreement is more flexible and can be drafted during the marriage or relationship.

A binding financial agreement or a prenup is a great solution when you want to protect your assets or ensure your children are financially secured before you enter a marriage or defacto relationship. Typically, WA couples opt for financial agreements if one of them has more money, property or assets or wants to preserve a family business.
Yes! Perth prenuptial agreements are recognised by the Family Law, which means that the court can interfere and enforce them. Moreover, even though the two parties can decide how they want to divide assets, the court can decide whether it is just or not.
Prenuptial agreements are binding under certain conditions defined by Australian family law. They must be signed by both parties and must include a statement from each party that they have obtained legal advice as well as statements from legal advisors. The agreement will be binding only if it has not been terminated or set aside by the court. Â
