Prenup Lawyers Gold Coast
Our Gold Coast Prenup Lawyers can help you prepare a Prenuptial Agreement or Binding Financial Agreement. We will listen to your concerns and offer advice tailored to your needs and circumstances.
It’s natural to hope that a relationship will last, but it’s wise to make sure that you and your partner are prepared for the worst. A financial agreement or binding financial agreement (commonly referred to as a prenup or prenuptial agreement) can help you finalise certain financial matters that may arise in the event of a breakdown of your marriage.
The Family Law Act allows married couples and de facto partners to enter into private Financial Agreements, which do not need to be reviewed by a court. These agreements can deal with how couples intend to divide their property and superannuation in the event of separation or after separation has occurred. A prenuptial agreement can help to ensure that you and your partner can move forward quickly if the unforeseeable happens and end up with a clear idea of what you are entitled to. Prenups can also save you money in the long term as divorces and separations can become quite costly when both parties disagree.
For prenuptial agreement to be legally binding in Australia, it must meet certain criteria.
- Both parties should disclose their financial positions fully
- A prenuptial agreement must be in writing to be valid
- Each party should seek independent legal advice
- Each party must willingly sign the prenuptial agreement without undue pressure or coercion
Our Gold Coast prenup lawyers can help you draft your binding financial agreement and provide you with all the options available.
