Frequently Asked Questions
What is a binding financial agreement, and when is it used?
A binding financial agreement (BFA) is a legal document outlining how financial assets, liabilities and property will be managed during a relationship or divided in the event of a separation.
It can be used before, during or after a marriage or de facto relationship. Couples often use BFAs to protect pre-existing assets, clarify financial responsibilities or avoid lengthy court disputes in case of separation.
How does a binding financial agreement differ from a prenuptial agreement?
While both agreements outline financial arrangements, a prenuptial agreement applies specifically before marriage. A binding financial agreement can be created before, during or after a relationship, including in de facto partnerships.
It’s a broader legal tool that caters to varying relationship stages, ensuring financial arrangements are clear regardless of timing or relationship status.
Are binding financial agreements enforceable in court?
Learn MoreYes, binding financial agreements are enforceable under Australian family law if they meet strict legal requirements. Both parties must have independent legal advice, and the agreement must be documented correctly. If not drafted or executed properly, the agreement can be challenged in court. Working with legal professionals ensures its enforceability.
Can a binding financial agreement be updated or cancelled?
Yes, a binding financial agreement can be updated or terminated if both parties agree and follow legal procedures. This typically involves drafting a new agreement or a termination document, which must meet the same legal requirements as the original. Regular updates ensure the agreement reflects changing financial circumstances.
