Many parties entering into a marriage or de facto<\/em> relationship are worried about what will happen to their assets and liabilities if the marriage or de facto<\/em> relationship ends.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, a person about to get married or commence living with a partner may be concerned that they will lose assets to their partner in the event of a future separation, or even be made responsible for their partner\u2019s debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, under the law in Australia, pre-nuptial\nagreements \u2013 properly known as Binding Financial Agreements (or BFAs) \u2013 are available\nto provide certainty between the parties to the marriage or de facto<\/em> relationship\nas to how their assets and liabilities will be divided in the event of a\nseparation, and to opt out of having their property settlement decided by the\nCourt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not only possible to enter into a Binding Financial Agreement\n(BFA) at the beginning of a marriage or de facto<\/em> relationship in\nAustralia, but it is also possible to enter into such Agreements during <\/em>and\nafter <\/em>the end of the marriage or de facto<\/em> relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if a Binding Financial Agreement is something you would\nlike to discuss, you are welcome to call Sanicki Lawyers today to arrange a confidential\nadvice session.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are contemplating entering into a BFA at the end of a\nmarriage or de facto<\/em> relationship, please note that time limits apply to\nbringing Court Applications for property settlements if the parties cannot\nagree to what their settlement should be. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So don\u2019t delay \u2013 call Sanicki Lawyers today to arrange a\nconfidential advice session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
