Pre-Relationship Agreements
Protect assets, businesses, and inheritances before entering a relationship. Similar to a prenuptial agreement, a BFA provides clarity and certainty from the start.
During Relationship BFAs
Formalise financial arrangements during your relationship. Ideal for protecting new business interests, inheritances, or changed financial circumstances.
Post-Separation Agreements
Divide assets and finalise financial matters after separation without court proceedings. A private, efficient alternative to consent orders.
Protecting What You Have Built
A Binding Financial Agreement provides certainty and protection for both parties. Whether you are entering a new relationship, protecting a family business, or resolving financial matters after separation, we prepare agreements designed for long-term security and enforceability.
- Comprehensive asset identification and protection
- Independent legal advice for both parties
- Drafted to withstand legal challenge
- Clear, enforceable terms that protect your interests

Frequently Asked Questions
A BFA is a legally binding contract between parties to a relationship that sets out how assets, liabilities, and financial resources will be divided if the relationship breaks down. BFAs can be entered into before, during, or after a relationship.
Yes, in certain circumstances. A court may set aside a BFA if there was fraud, duress, unconscionable conduct, or if a party did not receive proper independent legal advice. That is why it is essential the agreement is properly prepared and both parties are independently advised.
Yes. Under the Family Law Act, each party must receive independent legal advice about the effect of the agreement on their rights and the advantages and disadvantages of entering into it. A signed certificate from each lawyer is required.
BFAs can be prepared before a relationship begins (similar to a prenuptial agreement), during the relationship, or after separation. The right timing depends on your circumstances and what you are trying to protect.
