Just about anyone can enter into a binding financial agreement as long as they normally reside in Australia.
It makes no difference if you are married or in a de facto relationship (whether heterosexual or same sex): all are treated equally under the law, and the same rights will apply. You can make a financial agreement if you are:
| Marriage partners | De facto partners |
| Engaged to be married | Considering moving in together |
| Married | Living together |
| Separated (but still married) | Separated |
| Divorced |
There are very few restrictions on who can enter into a financial agreement as long as they are able to meet the six principles of contract law.
