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.
"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."
"On a personal note, you and your staff have done an outstanding job. You made the process very easy, cannot fault you in anyway and yes you do come highly recommended by me and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anybody else. No doubt I will talk to you sometime in the future."
