That’s one of the bring problems, for inheritance to be considered part of the marriage asset pool in case of divorce and even though you stated on the Financial agreement thats its not any any way shape or form part of the marriage in case of a divorce, but not even the Agreement will protect...

Couldnt help to luagh, thanks for cheering me up today :):) So true what you wrote.

No this time I want it to be fair, I know more now then before. We learn from our mistakes and this time i want to protect what i have, which i think is fair.

You bet she is, even better thanks to my hip pocket.

The divorce rate is very high today. I remember a while back I went to Toorak to inspect a house and the separated couple with children were not fighting over the children “it was money and how much each party gets” and they told the REA that now isn’t a good time so we had to leave. Never...

Hi Mark, If you bring anything into the marriage and I don’t want this to turn out a man verses a woman, but even with a binding financial agreement you would still need to share some of your assets as they can be open for attack later on, it can get very complicated and very messy. There are...

Ok, now anyone reading this especially any females please don’t take offence to what I am about to write. I went for my 2nd appointment and this is some info I can share on this forum. a) I strongly suggest to any male out there who is planning on getting married and is bringing in far more...

Wylie no my partner doesn’t know of this. I will state this again, when you have been in a relationship which I have and been threatened that she is going to take everything you had worked so hard for ((Then you will only realise the pain of someone taking your hard earned assets when they...

That's a good point that you raised, if the mother decided to work then the children would require day care, or the grandparents. Then yes I would definitely pay for childcare as they are my children. But I would compensate her in case the marriage did break down for her staying at home and...

Hi Raddles, I have no problems splitting 50/50 when both parties contribute to the assets, but that would make it hard if the wife is taking care of the children and cant work so you would need to place in the agreement that you would pay your x partner for the years of lost income during the...

This is such a sad and depressing topic that I started, but I can’t help to think everything your parents have worked so hard for to be taken right from under you from someone who has never contributed a dime. And anyone that doesn’t like this, think of it this way. Try to think you had kids...

No one can point fingers at anyone as this has nothing to do with what sex you are, but I will say this from past expercience and still to this day women do have more rights when it only comes to children in the family courts and I can completely understand that and Im a male. As to setting...

Sorry overturn which part ?? Here is more information http://www.hhfamilylaw.com.au/prenuptialfacts.php "In the case of a relationship breakdown, what is earned during a marriage will be part of the settlement regardless of whether it has been held in a joint or separate account,''

I will find out more next week with my 2nd appointment with the solicitor and let you know, as I have houses that are tied up in trusts and then inheritance. If you have properties that are in trusts you have to make it very clear that the trust is not in any way "shape or form part of the...

I have already disscused it with my partner as she knows what happened in my previous relationship so she has a understanding why I want a Binding Financial Agreement. Not happy to hear that some solicitors wont sign on her behalf if I dont give a percentage even though she would bring...

Unfazed & Norwester, Those remarks are uncalled for, this is a forum where we communicate to others to seek there opinions and advice not comments like you have posted which are unhelpful. Maybe they should close the entire forum down as there are a lot of people asking questions and advice...

By the sound of this, it's not 100% fool proof dosent matter which way you go. When you say the courts don't have jurisdiction to upset them (provided all the formalities are complied with). Could you give me a example?

I'm just more concerned now, as I have called a few family law firms and when I asked them has any of there finacial agreements stood up in court they kept silent. Have a appointment tom with a family lawyer and will keep you all posted.

Thank you GoAnna and Mark and everyone who has replied. When you work for something so hard and take risk's like myself and my parents did to get were we are today, it kills you to know someone can take almost more then half. My father who passed away, was always afraid that someone...

Thank You for your reply. Just a question, are you required to make a finacial agreement binding (Have to disclose all your assests in the agreement even it is in a trust to make it binding)?
