Pre Cohabitation Agreement with Bonus Legal Will Kit (for couples intending to live together)

However it is a sure sign of the strength and determination of your relationship when you can discuss the practical and unromantic aspects of your
relationship openly and honestly.

What does this mean for you?

Should you ever separate, you can refer to your Financial Agreement and save yourself the stress, heartache and cost of settling property or maintenance matters within the Court system.

Drafting a Financial Agreement together whilst the relationship is strong is more likely to ensure a fairer outcome for both parties and allows you to avoid unnecessary bickering later on.

A Financial Agreement makes the painful process of separation less traumatic.

Changes to Family Law

Recent changes to The Family Law in Australia have switched the regulation of relationships from the individual states, excluding Western Australia, to the Commonwealth.

This means that defacto relationships, both hetero and same sex now rest under the protective umbrella of the Family Law Act (Act).

Terminology has changed too – Cohabitation Agreements are now called Financial Agreements and are classified under particular sections of the Act.

  • 90UC – for couples already living together and
  • 90UB – for couples intending to live together (but not yet sharing a residence)
  • Same sex couple should click here for specific information.
