Pre-Nuptial and Nuptial Agreements in Sydney

We at Afoltern Solicitors have seen many sad cases where there is a permanent

separation or adivorce andwhere the partners fight bitterly over the family estate, and

they use their lawyers to dothe fighting forthem, and they do not care how much it

costs them. Some times they spend afortune on their lawyers tofight over the pots

and pans in the family kitchen. Their legal feeswhen the court finalises everything

canbe over $100,000.00, all of which would come out of theirfamily's estate. However,

those who are sensiblefrom the beginning even before they decide toget married

can creat a so called insurance to cover asituation that may happen many years

latter, if they decide to seperate or divorce then, and it only costs them$3,000.00 plus

GST. Thatis, they sign a prenaptial agreement, if the agreement is finalised before

they getmarried, or anaptial agreement, if the agreement is finalised when they

are married. Theseagreementssettle who gets what, and in what proportion, if

it may happen they arepermamently separated, or getdivorced. These agreements,

have the force of the court oncethey are finalised, and the bitterness thatcould

arise by fighting over the family estate, isavoided, because both partners have

agreed on the divisionof everything many years ago.

We are here to help. It is the most sensible thing any couple would do, and they

can potentiallysave, over$80,000.00, by entering into such an agreement. Come

and talk with us about it, soyou can decide betternow, rather than wait until it is

too late.
