Separation Agreement
(Binding Financial Agreement under to s90C Family Law act 1975)

Who should use a Separation Agreement?

When a married couple has agreed to separate and they wish to formalise their agreement about the division of Assets, Liabilities, Property and Maintenance.

Binding Financial agreements remove the need to enter court proceedings and extended litigation. A BFA allows you to decide how to divide joint financial resources between yourselves, which lets you relax and get on with your life.

When a marriage breaks down reaching an amicable agreement quickly about debts, assets and property can lessen conflict and reduce the stress involved. It's no wonder many couples now see binding financial agreements as a logical alternative to the courts as well as a reliable exit strategy.

Our Binding Separation Financial Agreement kit provides the framework for a compliant separation contract that will save you hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars. Not to mention the time and anxiety that comes with protracted litigation.

Sitting down with your partner to work out what your agreement needs to achieve, before you both run off to the lawyers, will save you considerable time, money and anxiety. Furthermore you'll minimise the risk of having a Lawyer draft a one sided agreement that fails to reflect what either of you wants.

If you are a De facto couple (opposite or same-sex) and not married you can still make a binding financial agreement under s90UD.
