You might have heard of a pre-nuptial agreement or “pre-nup.” These are Binding Financial Agreements (BFA) which can be entered into at the start of a marriage or de-facto relationship to ensure each party retains the assets that they bring into the relationship. They can also ensure that assets acquired during the relationship are divided fairly upon separation, if this was to occur. A Binding Financial Agreement is essentially your safety net if your relationship was to breakdown.
You can also enter into a BFA during a marriage or defacto relationship or after separation or divorce. This is an alternative to the Court process.
If you are interested in entering a Binding Financial Agreement or seek more information, please contact our office for assistance.
This is a Binding Financial Agreement which you and your partner can draft at the beginning of, or throughout your relationship to set out how assets are to be divided without the Courts involvement should the relationship come to an end.
This is now called a Binding Financial Agreement, or BFA. If you have significant assets, drafting a BFA can be beneficial if the relationship unfortunately breaks down sometime in the future. Should this occur, having a BFA in place reduces stress to both parties as it makes the process of dividing assets after separation much simpler. A BFA can be entered into before or during the relationship.
"My experience with Marsdens Law Group was excellent. My core team, Sandy Naidu, Tom Reeve together with their support team, gave my case the time and attention that was needed to drive an outcome in court. They were calm and confident during very difficult court proceedings. Although I acquired their services through a recommendation, I never once was treated as anything other than a valuable client. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Marsdens, and will highly recommend them to anyone that needs family law legal services.”
"Choosing Marsden’s Law Group as my family lawyer was a decision I do not regret. From the initial briefing, I was met with understanding and a genuine commitment to helping me achieve the best outcome possible.
Throughout the entire process, Tom and Sandy considered my children’s and my emotional wellbeing with empathy and support. Their consideration, combined with their legal expertise, provided the reassurance needed.
What set Marsden’s Law group apart was their diligence and meticulous attention to detail. Through research and strategizing, all aspects of my case were thoroughly examined and addressed. Their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for myself and children was evident in every action taken. They made me felt heard, supported, and understood, providing guidance and encouragement in a challenging situation.
Thanks to Tom and Sandy’s expertise, patience, empathy, and diligence I was able to navigate through the legal system with confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend Marsden’s Law group to anyone in need of a compassionate and committed family lawyer."
"Saw Laura, she was very helpful and explained it all to me in a way I understood. Very happy with them."
"Nevine was prompt and had every detail at hand when it was time to attend court. Nevine gave me honest advice and in NO way did Nevine proceed to make my matter drag on. I am so grateful for this because all the advice I got from people in similar situations was that 'solicitors are only there to make money for themselves.' In my experience this was far from the truth from Nevine & the whole Family Law Team."
