What is a Prenup
A prenuptial agreement in Australia, commonly known as a prenup, is a document that governs how your assets will be distributed if you and your partner separate. The legal term for a prenup is a binding financial agreement.
At any stage of relationship, couples can enter into a binding financial agreement. It’s not possible to enter into a prenup if there’s already a valid prenup with another person.
Essentially, it lists all the property and any debts that each person owns and then outlines each person’s property rights after the marriage. Prenup is a written contract that establishes each person’s financial standing and how finances will be split after a separation.
Both parties intending to enter into a prenup must ordinarily reside in Australia. Each party must also obtain Independent Legal Advice from different lawyers working in different law firms. The lawyers must also sign a certificate confirming that the advice, as required by the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), was given to their client before their client signed the Agreement.
