Consent decisions are reviewed and evaluated by the court to ensure they are “fair and equitable” to both parties. The parties might want an agreement that they both agree is “just and just,” but the court cannot consider it “just and just.” You can also enter into a binding financial agreement to formalize your separation with your spouse or de facto partner. These agreements are concluded in accordance with Section 90D (for married relationships) or Section 90UD (for de facto relationships) of the Family Law Act. Marital fat must be formulated in such a way that it meets all the many legal requirements and in a way that means that it will be maintained in the future if it is challenged.

These include the secrecy of significant assets by a party and agreements entered into to protect the interests of a creditor of one of the parties or of a third party with whom one of the parties has pending property matters. The parties must therefore be honest in their management and disclosure of assets, financial resources and values. For a binding financial agreement to be binding, both parties must be legally represented and both their lawyers must sign the agreement.
Both parties are also required to sign the agreement as an expression of their consent. The law states that each party must receive its own independent legal advice with respect to the binding financial agreement in order for it to be binding and enforceable. Each party must discuss the agreement with their own lawyer. The agreement must be concluded voluntarily and, after being duly signed, binding on the contracting parties, provided that each person has received independent legal advice from a lawyer regarding the impact of the agreement on the rights of that party and the advantages and disadvantages at the time of the party`s deliberation. . . .
