Difference between revisions of "Dividing Property and Debt in Family Law Matters"

When spouses have written, signed, and witnessed an agreement about the division of property and debt, section 94(2) of the ''[[Family Law Act]]'' says that the court cannot make an order about the division of family property, excluded property, or family debt, unless the parts of the agreement that deal with property and debt are set aside by a court order. This gives agreements on the division of property and debt a lot more protection against later court challenges than was provided to agreements under the old ''[[Family Relations Act]]''.
