“Separation Agreement” or “Relationship Property Agreement” refers to a legal agreement between two parties who have decided to separate or end their relationship. It is a document that sets out the terms and conditions for the division of relationship property, assets, debts, and other matters related to the separation.

The agreement serves as a binding contract between the parties and can provide a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities after the separation. While Separation Agreements are not mandatory, they are often recommended to establish mutually agreed-upon terms and minimise potential disputes during the separation process.

  • Relationship Property Agreement: We can assist in drafting a legally binding relationship property agreement, also known as a prenuptial agreement or a contracting-out agreement. This agreement allows couples to agree on how their property will be divided in the event of a separation or divorce.
