Frequently Asked Questions
What is a binding financial agreement?
A Binding Financial Agreement is a legally recognised contract between parties in a relationship that outlines how property and finances will be divided if the relationship ends. It can cover assets, liabilities, superannuation, and even future spousal maintenance.
Does a binding financial agreement need to go to court?
No. A BFA is a private agreement and does not need to be approved by a court. However, it must meet strict legal requirements under the Family Law Act to be valid and enforceable.
How much does a binding financial agreement cost?
At Randle & Taylor, we offer fixed fee pricing for drafting agreed binding financial agreements (conditions apply). This ensures clarity and affordability from the outset. Contact us for a personalised quote.
Can a binding financial agreement be overturned?
Yes, but only in limited circumstances. A court may set aside a BFA if it finds evidence of fraud, duress, non-disclosure, or if the agreement is found to be unconscionable or impractical. Our experienced lawyers ensure your agreement is carefully drafted to avoid these issues.
Is a binding financial agreement suitable for de facto couples?
Yes. Binding Financial Agreements are available to both married and de facto couples, including same-sex relationships, under Australian family law.
What about a binding financial agreement after separation?
If you’ve already separated, it’s not too late to enter into a financial binding agreement. These post-separation agreements can finalise your property settlement and avoid the need to go to court. We’ll ensure the agreement is drafted and executed correctly to ensure it is legally binding and enforceable.
