Discover how we can help

You can enter into an Agreement during your relationship about property division and have certainty about what property you can retain if you separate from your partner or spouse, these are often called Pre-nuptial Agreement or Cohabitation Agreements.

If you separate from your partner, if you have already reached an agreement with your ex about property settlement then we ensure that agreement is recorded in a legal and binding way. You have choices whether to record an agreement with Consent Orders or Binding Financial Agreements (also called a Separation Agreement) with a Superannuation Agreement.

We can help you choose which is best. Book a free initial consultation today!


More information about pre-separation Financial Agreements:

These can be called Financial Agreements, Binding Financial Agreements, BFAs, Cohabitation Agreements or Pre-nuptial Agreements.

They set out how property division or property settlement will occur if you and your partner or spouse separate. They provide clarity and peace of mind to couples about the financial future. Often couples use these documents to ensure that assets they came into the relationship with are retained by them in the event of separation. This can be particularly important where there are children from a previous relationship.

They can be binding and enforced in Court if they are done properly. For example, you must both have independent legal advice from a solicitor before you sign the Financial Agreement.
