Prenuptial agreements may be appropriate where:
1. one person has much more property
than the other when the relationship began
2. one person is, or may later become,
entitled to an inheritance or gift
3. you are moving into a second or
subsequent relationship where children from former relationships might need to
be protected financially, or
4. you both simply want to make sure the
terms of any property division are agreed up front and will not end up in court.
What about de facto relationships?
Since 2009, virtually the same rules apply to de facto
relationships as they do to marriages.
Your relationship can be defined as de
facto when you are living together on a genuine domestic basis yet are not
married to each other or related by family.
Whether or not your relationship is
de facto will be determined according to such matters as the length of the
relationship, whether you live together, whether you have combined your
finances and you have children together.
