Family Law Agreements

Divorce affects many of us but the emotional pain can be reduced if you make sensible provision for a property settlement.

Vickers Lawyers encourage our clients to make provision for a settlement of property before things get expensive.

Ideally couples (whether married or otherwise) can make provision for a fair and equitable division of property before things start going south! If the agreement is made before  the relationship is formalised or marriage occurs it is referred to as a “pre – nup” to use the American vernacular.

Binding Financial Agreements are an economical way of avoiding a very painful and expensive court proceedings in which no one really wins. Binding Financial Agreements can be made before a relationship begins , after a relationship ends and before or after divorce.

The essence of a Binding Financial Agreement is that the two parties agree on how they shall divide their property in the event that the relationship or marriage fails (or after the marriage or relationship has ended).

Binding Financial Agreements may be created for partners in a “de facto” relationship whether that be instead of marriage or before a contemplated marriage.
