Financial Agreements for Continuing Relationships
This is the starting point for those couples who are:
>> already living together or planning to live together;
>> already married or planning to get married.
Financial Agreements for an Ongoing Relationship - an Insurance Policy for living happily ever after
You might be in a marriage or a de facto relationship, but the defining factor is you want to stay together and live happily ever after.
Whatever the case, even with the best intentions sometimes relationships do breakdown and if that should happen to you this document will provide a clear understanding of how property should be divided and quarantine specified assets from claim.
As unromantic as it might sound, the reality is something like 40% of first-time marriages will fail within 10 years, and there is nothing to suggest de facto relationship fare any better. And the statistics don’t improve the chances for 2nd or 3rd relationships.
I’m not trying to sound negative, but from a totally pragmatic viewpoint, if you knew that there was a 40% chance that your house would burn to the ground within 10 years, wouldn’t you want to insure against this possibility? or at least have an exit plan?
Well that’s all a financial agreement is – it’s an insurance policy just in case. We all hope and plan for the best of times but we insure against the worst.
Couples of all ages make financial agreements for all sorts of reasons.
For example, one or both partners:
- might feel nervous about the possibility of losing the family home;
- wish to protect a superannuation interest;
- want to make sure an inheritance only goes to their children;
- want to quarantine a family business from claim;
- wish protect one partner from the debts of the other;
- Or simply want to declare that each party will keep their financial affairs separate from the other.
The reasons are many and varied, but the one consistent message is to provide peace of mind for those who feel they may be at risk of losing their financial security.

If you’ve already done your homework you will know that instructing a lawyer to draft an agreement for you from scratch could cost you literally thousands of dollars.
By the time you add up multiple visits to your lawyers office at over $350.00ph plus the time off work and travelling, it doesn’t take long to see where your money goes.
We understand that most people can’t afford to fork out thousands of dollars to protect themselves from financial ruin.
A word of warning
If you do decide to download a document from the internet, only a document drafted to comply with Australia’s Family Law Act 1975 and reviewed by an Australian lawyer will protect you. If you can’t speak in person to the staff of the company making the offer, proceed with caution.
On the other hand, if you want to speak with us, all you have to do is pick up the phone and call 1800 608 088.

“Hi Ian, I can’t thank you enough for the great service I received from you and your team. When I had queries, I received prompt replies. Several times you replied by telephone. This is unheard of from most online businesses. I am also grateful for the amount of money I saved, unbelievable. I have no hesitation in recommending you to family and friends.”

Quick Answers Before You Start
Can we do everything remotely? Yes – entirely. The kit is downloaded instantly. Your completed BFA Planner is submitted online. The solicitor appointments are conducted by phone or Zoom. You never need to visit an office. This works just as well whether you’re in the same city or on opposite sides of the country.
Is the Certificate of Legal Advice guaranteed? In the vast majority of cases, yes. In rare circumstances a solicitor may identify a concern – such as evidence of duress or undisclosed assets – that prevents them from issuing the Certificate. If this occurs we’ll discuss it with you directly. It happens very rarely, but we believe in being upfront about it.

Forget Legal Jargon and blank legal Forms
Getting started here means answering a set of plain-English questions about your situation – in your own words, at your own pace.
We’ll ask about what you own and owe: property, super, savings, debts, vehicles, etc, and how you wish to divide it.
The completed BFA Planner is yours to keep and serves as a properly organised record of your property and finances, which is what a thorough property settlement needs.
It’s a Word document you can save, step away from, and come back to. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to send it – so there’s no pressure to have every answer ready before you start.
When you do send your completed Planner to us for review, that’s what gets things moving. Your answers are used to build your draft Financial Agreement, drawing on the framework we’ve refined across thousands of BFAs since 2009 – reviewed personally by our team.
Then our team will be in touch. If your arrangement fits within the scope of the Legal Review Service, we’ll confirm it and talk you through what happens next; if it isn’t quite there yet, we’ll explain why and what still needs sorting.
If it’s ready to proceed, a payment of $990 gets your matter formally underway. From there, we work through the finer detail together by phone and email – the points people often miss – getting your agreement ready for the next stage.
Once that’s done, the final balance payment of $2,260 unlocks the next stage: two independent lawyers – one for each of you. They provide the advice and certification the Family Law Act requires. Your lawyer will finalise your agreement and provide the final version ready for signing.
