Frequently asked questions
When should I prepare a prenuptial agreement?
To avoid legal and emotional complications, it’s best to prepare a prenuptial agreement well before your wedding day, ideally several months in advance.
This allows both parties time to carefully consider the agreement and seek independent legal advice. Creating an agreement too close to the wedding may raise suspicion and could be challenged in court. Early preparation can provide peace of mind and protect your assets and financial future.
Get in touch with us now to find out your options to protect your assets.
Is it too late to prepare a financial agreement after the wedding or during my marriage?
It is never too late to create a prenuptial agreement, even after your wedding or during your marriage. A postnuptial agreement, also known as a marital agreement, can be created at any point in your marriage and serves the same purpose as a prenuptial agreement. This type of agreement can address important issues like property division of pre-marital and post-martial assets, spousal support, and debt allocation.
Seek legal advice if you are considering a postnuptial agreement.
Is a prenuptial agreement or a postnuptial agreement legally binding in Australia?
In Australia, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is valid for settling property and financial matters between parties in the event of a separation and death. According to the law, prenuptial agreements are considered valid as long as certain criteria are met.
It is best to obtain legal advice as soon as possible to find out whether a prenuptial agreement or a postnuptial agreement is right for you.
Can a prenuptial agreement or a post-nuptial agreement be overruled?
Yes, the Family Court has the authority to override any provisions in an agreement if there has been a significant change in the couple’s circumstances not accounted for in the agreement or if the agreement was not legally binding due to a lack of independent legal advice or evidence of fraud or unfairness.
Our lawyers can ensure that your agreement is legally binding and meets all necessary requirements. Contact us now.
Can a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement cannot be changed once it is signed?
Yes, prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements can be amended or revoked by mutual agreement between the parties. However, it is important to contact a lawyer before making any changes to a prenuptial agreement, as the process can be complex and must comply with the legal requirements. It is also important to ensure that there has been a significant change in the couple’s circumstances that was not accounted for in the agreement.
