What Is a Binding Financial Agreement?
A Binding Financial Agreement (commonly known as a BFA or prenup) is a legally binding document under the Family Law Act 1975. It sets out how your property, finances, and assets will be divided if your relationship breaks down.
BFAs can be entered into:
- Before marriage or a de facto relationship (commonly referred to as a prenuptial agreement)
- During a marriage or de facto relationship
- After separation or divorce
They allow couples to make their own financial arrangements, rather than leaving decisions to the Family Court.
When Should You Consider a BFA?.
There are several situations where a Binding Financial Agreement is highly recommended:
You or your partner have significant assets or liabilities
Safeguard your property, savings, and investments with clear terms that prevent disputes. A BFA ensures transparency and avoids unnecessary financial stress later.
You want to protect an inheritance, business, or trust
Preserve family wealth or business interests by defining what remains separate. A well-drafted agreement can shield inherited or long-held assets from division.
There is a financial imbalance between you and your partner
When one partner brings more wealth or income into the relationship, a BFA can ensure fair treatment without resentment or future legal conflict.
You want to outline how assets will be handled if the relationship ends
A proactive agreement sets expectations early, reducing conflict and costly court proceedings. It provides a roadmap for fair division if separation occurs.
