... it's been such a smoother process 'time and cost wise' than either of us had imagined possible after the first ring round of family law firms. We would recommend you to friends who are entering in to a de facto relationship and want something drawn up. Thank you, you have been most helpful from the very 1st phone call.Easy to deal with, polite and patient.
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 often difficult issue of how to divide property and financial resources in the event of a relationship breakdown.(Known more commonly as a 'Property Settlement Agreement') 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 agreement, pre nuptial agreement (prenup,pre nuptual), post nuptial agreements (postnup), or separationagreement 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.
By spending a few minutes on this web site you will see there are definite benefits to making your own rules about the financial aspects of your relationship. You can successfully use a (prenup / prenuptial, postnup, separation, divorce) financial agreement to;
Avoid potentially divisive issues that could arise if you ever separate.
Specify ground rules for buying and owning property.
Coordinate and support your estate plans, to be sure that family property passes as you wish.
Avoids costly litigation following a relationship breakdown.
While the main effect of a financial agreement is to prevent either party making an application to the Family Court for the division of assets in a property settlement. The aim of introducing Financial Agreements is to encourage all couples to agree about how to divide their property in the event of, or following, separation.
A Financial Agreement allows you and your partner to stipulate in a writing what would be an equitable distribution of your assets and financial resources when your relationship is friendly and harmonious. Making a FA when you are planning to live happily ever after makes good sense, because it generally leads to an agreement that both parties find fair and reasonable. Niggling doubts about "what would happen if?" Can be set aside by providing certainty of outcome that can reduce stress and actually strengthen your relationship.
