It saves you time and money if you can reach agreement without going to court. You also know exactly what each of you will get, whereas, by going to court, there is uncertainty waiting for a judicial officer to decide for you. Court proceedings can be stressful and add to pressure that you are under.

Financial Agreements
The Family Law Act 1975 provides for parties to a marriage or de facto relationship to enter into a binding legal agreement about the financial arrangements should their marriage or de facto relationship break down. Sometimes people know these agreements as ‘prenuptial agreements’ but the legal term is ‘financial agreements’.
For a financial agreement to be legally binding, you both must sign the agreement and obtain independent legal advice before signing. We can prepare an agreement for you and provide the requisite legal advice. Your spouse will need an independent lawyer to sign.
