Can I get a Separation / Binding Financial Agreement before a divorce is finalised?

You certainly can. If you are filing for a divorce, you don’t have to wait the 12 months required for a divorce and can agree to your financial separation as soon as you have decided to separate. It is actually recommended to sort out arrangements as soon as possible. This is because asset values can change over time and valuations are best done close to when the parties separate. This means that you can secure your financial future and move on with your life before a divorce is officially finalised.
