Financial Agreements
Elbatti Legal provides expert Financial Agreement Lawyers Sydney NSW and Family Law Solicitors Liverpool NSW, assisting clients with preparing, reviewing, and advising on Financial Agreements (Binding Financial Agreements – BFA) under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). A Financial Agreement is a legally binding contract made between parties in a marriage or de facto relationship that sets out how property, finances, and financial resources will be divided in the event of separation, divorce, or relationship breakdown.
​
A Financial Agreement in NSW allows parties to reach a private agreement outside of Court, potentially avoiding costly and lengthy litigation. These agreements can be entered into before, during, or after a marriage or de facto relationship, and are commonly used as a form of asset protection and financial planning for individuals, couples, business owners, and high-net-worth clients. If properly prepared and executed, a Financial Agreement can prevent the need for future Court proceedings regarding property settlement.
​
A key legal requirement is that both parties must obtain independent legal advice in Australia before signing the agreement, ensuring they understand their rights and the effect of the document. However, in certain circumstances, a Binding Financial Agreement NSW may be set aside by the Court, such as in cases involving fraud, duress, non-disclosure, or significant legal defects.
