Postnuptial financial agreement - during marriage
So, it looks like you are planning to live happily ever after, but there may be some issues that need resolution. Do you need a postnuptial financial agreement?
A postnup operates in a similar way to a prenuptial agreement except it is made after the wedding.
So why would you want to make a postnuptial agreement?
Couples often make postnuptial agreements to help resolve recurring arguments over finances, assets, children, or other financial or family issues.
Other times it’s simply because they didn’t get around to making a prenuptial agreement before the wedding.
The reasons are many and varied but ultimately one or both of the parties are looking for re-assurance that their financial security is safe.
Because the financial agreement clearly sets out what should happen with assets and liabilities if the marriage breaks down, the likelihood of extended litigation is greatly diminished, along with the financial and emotional costs.
In this way, postnuptial agreements provide certainty over issues covered in the agreement, which in turn leads to greater harmony within the relationship.

FAQ: What is the difference between a postnuptial agreement and a financial agreement?
Answer: Nothing. Under Australia’s Family Law Act the correct name for this document is a Financial Agreement although many people know it by the common name of a postnuptial agreement.
Just to be clear, when we refer to a postnuptial financial agreement it is exactly the same document as a binding financial agreement made under section 90C of the Family Law Act 1975.

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.

“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.
