Binding Financial Agreement
Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) ,
commonly referred to as “prenups,” are legal contracts that couples can enter into before, during, or after their relationship or marriage. These agreements specify how assets and financial resources will be divided if the relationship ends, and can also include terms for spousal maintenance.
BFAs are designed to provide clarity and prevent disputes by allowing couples to manage their financial matters independently of the court system. To be valid, these agreements require that both parties receive independent legal advice, make a full financial disclosure, and enter into the agreement voluntarily without duress.
