Financial Agreements
What is a Binding Financial Agreement?
At South Coast Family Law Group, we assist clients with Binding Financial Agreements following separation. A Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) is a legal document that records how assets, liabilities and financial responsibilities will be divided after a relationship ends. It provides clarity and certainty for both parties and allows financial matters to be finalised without the need for court orders.

A Binding Financial Agreement can be used after separation to formally record how assets, liabilities and financial responsibilities will be divided between former partners.
This may include the division of property, superannuation, savings and debts. A financial agreement allows both parties to document their arrangements clearly and finalise financial matters without the need for court orders.
A Binding Financial Agreement can provide several benefits:
Clarity Around Asset Division: Clearly records how property, liabilities and financial responsibilities will be divided following separation.
Reduced Disputes: Helps minimise conflict by formally documenting the agreed financial arrangements between both parties.
Flexible Financial Arrangements: Allows separating partners to record financial agreements in a way that reflects their circumstances.
