The Family Law Act now allows married couples and de-facto couples (that have separated after 1 March 2009) to enter into financial agreements.

Financial agreements between parties can be made by couples before, during and after marriage. These can be done via Consent Orders of the Family Court or by private arrangements. It is best to have clear agreements attended to by lawyers and properly undertaken pursuant to the law to ensure that private agreements can be enforced by the court.

There are many benefits to obtaining such agreements at various stages in a marriage and provides all parties with protection.
