A Binding Financial Agreement isn't only something people think about before getting married.

Under Australian family law, a BFA can be entered into before, during or after a marriage or de facto relationship. It can address matters including property, financial resources, spousal maintenance and superannuation.

There are also important legal requirements, including independent legal advice for each party and requirements around signing, writing and disclosure.

At Aston Legal Group, we assist clients in understanding whether a Binding Financial Agreement is appropriate for their circumstances and what is involved in preparing one.

A contested Intervention Order matter can involve extensive evidence and detailed cross-examination.

In this Aston Legal Group case, our clients were the respondents in Personal Safety Intervention Order applications brought in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria at Sunshine. The matter involved allegations of stalking and other prohibited behaviour.

During the hearing, Aston's Principal Lawyer cross-examined the applicant for approximately two hours, including on inconsistencies in her evidence and further and better particulars.

The Court ultimately:

• Refused to grant Final Orders against the respondent husband
• Refused to grant a Final Order against the respondent wife
• Reinstated a Final Order in favour of the respondent wife and her children
• Made a costs order in favour of the respondent husband

Family law can come with a lot of questions.

And sometimes the question you think is “too basic” is exactly the question someone else is wondering too.

So, we're handing the microphone over to you. 🎤

What family law question would you like our lawyers to answer?

Drop it in the comments — or send us a DM if you'd prefer to keep it private.

Sometimes a divorce matter that appears straightforward can become significantly more complicated.

In this Aston Legal Group case, our client had already obtained a Divorce Order. His former wife subsequently applied for the Order to be rescinded, arguing that the parties had not genuinely been separated for the required 12 months.

The matter proceeded to a contested hearing, with evidence addressing their living arrangements, financial relationship, sexual relationship and how they presented publicly.

Following the evidence and submissions, the Court was satisfied that the parties had been living separately and apart for the required period.

The application was dismissed and the original Divorce Order remained in place.

Not every Intervention Order situation involves a former partner or family member.

A Personal Safety Intervention Order (PSIO) may apply where the person involved is someone such as a neighbour, colleague, friend, landlord, tenant or even a stranger.

Importantly, you don't necessarily have to wait for physical violence. The Aston Legal Group information page explains that PSIOs can address behaviour including stalking, harassment, threats, property damage and assault.

Want to understand how PSIOs work, how to apply and what happens after an application is made?

When parenting arrangements become difficult, Court is not necessarily the first step.

At Aston Legal Group, we help parents understand their options and work towards practical arrangements that focus on the child’s best interests.

Depending on the circumstances, this can include helping with negotiations, parenting plans, Consent Orders or Court proceedings where necessary.

Every family is different — there is no one-size-fits-all parenting arrangement.

Need help understanding your options?
Our family lawyers are here to help.

What actually happens at mediation?

Mediation provides an opportunity for separated parties to discuss financial or parenting issues in a confidential and impartial environment, with an independent mediator helping identify issues and possible solutions.

It can be a quicker and more cost-effective way of trying to resolve a dispute without going to Court, and it allows the parties to actively participate in how an agreement is reached.

But mediation isn't appropriate in every situation. Aston's article discusses circumstances where mediation may not be suitable, including certain safety concerns, family violence, child safety concerns and urgent matters.
