Domestic Relationships Agreement for De Facto and Same-Sex Couples

From 1 December 2008 same sex and unmarried couples can register their relationships under the Relationships Act 2008. What you need to know:

  • Defacto heterosexual and same sex couples now have formal recognition of their relationship
  • Application to the register is $180.00
  • Additional fee is charged for a formal registration certificate
  • The register is open to couples living in Victoria aged 18 years and over
  • The register makes it easier for couples to access their rights under Victorian law
  • The register provides certainty to couples’ legal obligations
  • The register acts as proof that a couple is in a committed partnership
  • The register operates through Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

In light of these reforms Rosendorff Lawyers can assist you in preparing a Domestic Relationships Agreement tailored to your particular circumstances.

Advantages of such an Agreement:

  • It defines your financial rights and responsibilities towards each other in case of relationship breakdown or death
  • It helps you eliminate conflicts in case of separation
  • In the event of death it helps avoid litigation with the members of your individual extended families
  • It governs any financial inter-dependence between you
