You may have heard the word prenup in movies, but what does it actually mean here in Australia?

A prenup is generally known in law as a binding financial agreement. It is a written agreement that sets out how a couple would divide their property if they separate. Couples can make one before, during or after a relationship. For it to be valid, each person must get their own independent legal advice, and both must fully disclose their finances. A well prepared agreement can give both people clarity about where they stand. Whether one suits you depends on your circumstances, so you should get legal advice before deciding.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
— Lao Tzu

Start with one step

When everything feels like it is changing at once, the road ahead can look long. This well-known line from Lao Tzu is a reminder that even the biggest journeys begin with a single step.

You do not have to sort everything out at once. Working through things one step at a time can make a hard period feel more manageable, and getting clear information early often makes the next step easier to see. If you would like help understanding your options, we are here when you are ready.

Separating? A few things worth thinking about

Separation can feel overwhelming, and it is hard to know where to start. Here are some general things people often find useful to consider. It can help to keep important documents in one place, such as financial records and key dates. Try to focus on clear, respectful communication where it is safe to do so, especially if children are involved. Many people find it steadies things to learn how the process generally works before making big decisions.

It is also worth thinking about what matters most to you for the period ahead. There is no single right way through, and what suits one family may not suit another. These are general points only, not advice about your matter. For guidance that fits your circumstances, you should speak with a family lawyer.

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
—Helen Keller

Hope is a starting point

Separation can knock your confidence, and it is easy to feel stuck at the start. Helen Keller's words are a gentle reminder that hope and a little self-belief are often what get us moving again. You do not need to have the whole path mapped out today.

Small, steady steps and the right support can help you find your footing. Many people look back later and realise how far they came from an uncertain beginning. If you would like to understand your options, our team is here to help.

Peter Andrews has an exceptional understanding of family law. When I enquired about engaging his services for independent legal advice regarding a Binding Financial Agreement (BFA), he showed immense integrity and generosity by sharing his wealth of knowledge with me. Ultimately, he advised against entering into the BFA as it would not be in my best interest—essentially talking himself out of a paying client to ensure I was protected. I highly respect his honesty and would have absolutely no hesitation in having him in my corner if I require legal services in the future. — J.

Honest, clear guidance is at the heart of how we work, and we are grateful when it makes a difference. If you would like straightforward advice you can trust, our team is here to help.

Child support in Australia: The basics

When parents separate, both usually keep a responsibility to support their children financially. Child support is money paid by one parent to help with the everyday costs of raising a child, such as housing, food, schooling and medical care. In most cases it is worked out by Services Australia using a set formula that looks at things like each parent's income and how much care each provides. Parents can also reach their own agreement in some situations.

Every family is different, and what works for one may not suit another. If you want to understand how the rules might apply to your family, you should get legal advice.

What affects the cost of a binding financial agreement?

A binding financial agreement, sometimes called a prenup, sets out how a couple's property would be divided if they separate. One of the first questions people ask is what it costs. There is no single figure, because the price depends on your circumstances. Things that can affect it include how complex your finances are, how much negotiation is needed, and whether assets like a business or superannuation are involved. By law, each person must get their own independent legal advice before signing. Some firms offer a fixed fee so you know where you stand before work begins. If you are weighing up whether a binding financial agreement suits you, you should get legal advice.

Finding steadiness through change

Separation often brings change that feels outside your control. Viktor Frankl's words are a gentle reminder that, even when circumstances cannot be changed, we can choose how we respond and move forward. For many people going through a family law matter, this mindset can bring a small sense of steadiness during an uncertain time. It is not advice about your situation, just a thought to sit with.

Separating? A few things to consider

Separation can bring a lot of change at once, and it can help to take things one step at a time. Here are some general things to consider. First, try to keep important paperwork organised in one place, such as financial records and any agreements, so information is easy to find later. Second, where it is safe to do so, aim to keep communication with the other parent calm and focused on your children's wellbeing. Third, look after yourself, and lean on trusted friends, family or support services when you need to. Fourth, before meeting a lawyer, it can help to write down your questions and what matters most to you.

Decisions made early in a separation can affect what happens later, so it is usually wise to understand your options before acting. Every family's situation is different.

You should get legal advice about your own circumstances before making decisions.

Peter is both supportive and professional. He puts me to ease with issues I need help to resolve. Peter is a wonderful lawyer!

— Gitti M.

Facing separation or a family law question can be stressful, and having someone explain things clearly helps you feel more in control. One client described their experience this way: "Peter is both supportive and professional. He puts me at ease with issues I need help to resolve." We aim to make every client feel heard, informed and supported from the first conversation onward. Family law is rarely simple, but the right support can make the path feel a little clearer.
