Common Questions
-
A BFA is a legal document that sets out how a couple's assets and financial resources will be divided in the event of a separation or divorce. It is a private agreement made between two people who are in or about to enter into a de facto relationship or marriage.
The agreement can cover matters such as property and finances, maintenance and parenting arrangements for children. A BFA can also be referred to as a pre-nuptial agreement, cohabitation agreement or a separation agreement.
-
A post relationship BFA can cover property, finances, maintenance and parenting arrangements.
An agreement made before cohabitation or marriage does not usually include arrangements for the care of children or lifestyle choices, such as where a couple should live. Agreements can be made whether married or de facto (including same sex couples).
-
A BFA can provide certainty and peace of mind for both parties by setting out how their assets and financial resources will be divided in the event of a separation or divorce. It can also help to avoid lengthy and expensive court battles.
-
A BFA can be made before, during, or after a de facto relationship or marriage. However, both parties must enter into the agreement voluntarily and without coercion, and must have received independent legal advice before signing.
-
Yes, a BFA can be challenged in court in certain circumstances, such as if it was not entered into voluntarily, if one party did not receive independent legal advice, or if there was a material change in circumstances that makes the agreement unfair.
-
Yes, if certain legal requirements are met, BFAs are legally binding in Australia.
These requirements include that each party must have independent legal advice before signing the agreement, and that the agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. We can give you the professional legal advice and certification required to make your agreement legally binding.
