In Australia, what people often call a prenuptial agreement is usually a Binding Financial Agreement.
The Important Point
This is not part of our service.
We do paperwork-only marriages. We do not draft, advise on, review, witness, or arrange financial agreements.
That separation is important. The marriage process is governed by marriage law. Financial agreements sit in family law and require independent legal advice.
If You Are Thinking About One
You usually need:
- independent legal advice for each person
- a lawyer who works in this area
- enough time before the marriage to deal with it properly
If you think you need a financial agreement, speak with a family lawyer early.
How to Keep the Marriage Booking Clear
Do not wait for the financial agreement question before starting the NOIM unless your lawyer tells you to. The Notice of Intended Marriage has its own timing rules, and the legal requirements for the marriage still need to be met.
If you need the simplest legal marriage while you sort everything else with your own lawyer, the paperwork-only service is designed for that narrow job.
