Prenuptial agreements are no longer considered excessive or insulting and are becoming more common in both married and de facto relationships. Where unfortunate realist is around 40% of all marriages in Australia end in divorce, with de facto relationships faring no better, having a prenuptial agreement (known as a Financial Agreement) in place can save time, money and heartache in the long run.
In Australia, prenuptial agreements are known as Financial Agreements or sometimes “BFAs” (Binding Financial Agreements) for short. A prenuptial agreement is a contract that deals with the division of individual and shared assets should the parties separate or divorce. A prenuptial agreement can be made at any time during a relationship including before, during or after the relationship has ended.
This is where the service of Taylor & Scott Family Law professionals becomes important. Your prenup must comply with strict legal requirements and must include a statement signed by a lawyer confirming you have received legal advice before signing the agreement. Our job is to assist you and your spouse or partner by establishing a binding financial agreement that covers all eventualities and avoids expensive repercussions further down the track.
At Taylor & Scott Lawyers, we cover all bases for you, ensuring your prenuptial agreement is comprehensive and understood by everyone involved. Your agreement can include:
Your prenuptial agreement or financial agreement can be made any time you consider a relationship is entering into a long-term, serious phase. In a world where money equals security, people want to know how their financial assets will be distributed if their relationship turns sour, and a prenup will provide clarity and make divorce settlements less complicated and expensive.
Every couple is different, and reasons for prenuptial agreements are numerous, but there are certain situations where entering into an agreement makes good financial sense. Prenuptial agreements are appropriate in situations that include:
Since 2009, de facto couples have also been able to enter into Financial Agreements under the Family Law Act. Relationship status is established by a number of factors including the length of the relationship, your living arrangements, whether you have children and whether you have combined finances.
Prenuptial agreements aren’t for everyone, and very few people enter into marriage expecting a messy divorce at the end. However, the opportunity to safeguard the future for yourself and your loved ones is worth considering, and with Taylor & Scott guidance your chances of reaching a satisfactory agreement are greatly improved.
