Fairness and reasonableness of the agreement

Full financial disclosure by both parties

Voluntary consent without undue influence or pressure

The Law



Relevant Legislation:

  • Family Law Act 1996

  • Matrimonial Causes Act 1973

Key Legal Points:

  • Courts consider pre- and post-nuptial agreements as part of financial proceedings

  • Agreements must be fair, entered into voluntarily, and with full disclosure of assets

  • While not automatically binding, courts give them significant weight

Pre-Nuptial & Post-Nuptial Agreements

Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are legal contracts outlining the division of assets and financial arrangements in the event of divorce or separation.
Early legal advice ensures these agreements are fair, enforceable, and protect both parties’ interests.
