What is a Financial Agreement?


A FINANCIAL AGREEMENT (FA) is a written agreement, which complies with Part VIIIA or Part VIIIAB of the Family Law Act 1975 (“the act”).  Financial agreements deal with the difficult issue of how to divide property and financial resources in the event of a relationship breakdown.(Known more commonly as a 'Property Settlement') Amendments to the Family Law Act which came into effect on the 1st March 2009 now make it possible for all couples to make a financial agreement, whether they be hetero defacto, same sex de facto or married.

Commonly know as cohabitation agreements, pre nuptial agreements (prenup,pre nuptual), post nuptial agreements (postnup), or separation and divorce agreements - financial agreements allow a couple to decide in advance what would be a fair division of their assets as an alternative to the costly option of having the courts impose a solution.
