Binding Financial Agreements

At Equilaw, we help protect our clients’ financial interests in relationships. A Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) can provide financial clarity and security, but is it the right option for your circumstances?

What is a BFA?

A Binding Financial Agreement is a legally binding contract which outlines the intended division of property and/or assets should two people separate.

Who can enter a BFA?

A Binding Financial Agreement may be entered before, during, or after separation of a marriage. A Binding Financial Agreement may also be entered before the commencement, during or at the conclusion of a de facto relationship. This is in accordance with the Family Law Act 1975. It is important to note, however, a Binding Financial Agreement has strict legal requirements to be met, such as independent legal advice being provided to the parties involved.
