What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement, often called a binding financial agreement in Australia, is a legal document that outlines how a couple’s assets, debts, and financial resources will be handled if the relationship ends. The agreement is made before marriage or a de facto relationship and serves as a plan to protect each partner’s interests.
Why Consider a Prenuptial Agreement?
Prenuptial agreements offer a range of benefits, including:
- Protecting assets acquired before the marriage.
- Safeguarding inheritances and family wealth.
- Securing business interests and partnerships.
- Preventing disputes by clarifying financial arrangements from the start.

Common Questions About Prenuptial Agreements
We know that prenuptial agreements can seem complicated, and you may have many questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions and clear answers to help guide you:
Yes, even if you don’t have substantial assets now, a prenuptial agreement can still be beneficial. It can protect future earnings, cover potential inheritances, and set clear financial expectations in the event of a separation. This agreement can save you from disputes down the line and provide a fair plan for both partners.
Yes, prenuptial agreements (binding financial agreements) are legally binding in Australia, provided they meet specific legal requirements. Both parties must receive independent legal advice, and the agreement must be in writing and signed voluntarily. When properly drafted, it offers strong legal protection for your assets.
Yes, in certain circumstances, a prenuptial agreement can be contested. It may be challenged if one party was pressured into signing, if it’s deemed unfair, or if full financial disclosure was not provided. This is why having a well-drafted agreement with independent legal advice is crucial for ensuring its enforceability.
The timeframe for preparing a prenuptial agreement can vary, but it typically takes a few weeks. The process includes consultations, financial assessments, and drafting the agreement, followed by a review period for both parties. The timeline can be extended if there are complex financial matters to address or additional negotiations are required.
The cost of a prenuptial agreement depends on the complexity of your financial situation and the level of detail needed in the agreement. We offer competitive pricing and personalised quotes based on your specific circumstances. Contact us to discuss your needs and receive a tailored estimate.
