Financial Agreements under the Family Law Act, 2nd edition

The preparation and enforcement of effective and appropriate financial agreements in family law matters can be challenging for both novice and experienced legal practitioners. This important and authoritative work is designed to assist practitioners to understand the complex points of law that must be considered and applied when undertaking family law matters involving financial agreements under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). It also provides clear guidance on the preparation of such agreements and includes relevant precedents that may be adapted to the circumstances of each client.

The topics include the requirements for financial agreements, the financial matters covered, termination of agreements, superannuation agreements and advice on drafting effective agreements.

The fully revised second edition includes consideration of the new Part VIIIC of the Family Law Act on superannuation splitting by de facto partners in Western Australia, and a new Appendix which indicates where model provisions for a financial agreement can be found in the text.
