Raha Seyed Ali, Family Lawyer, answers the question: Can I draft my own agreement?
People often ask us if they can make their own agreement in family law. The answer is yes. You can draft your own agreement and sign it with a witness, and that can be considered a valid agreement according to the Family Law Act. However, if the terms aren’t clear. Or one day, one party comes and says, I didn’t understand the terms. I didn’t have legal advice. I didn’t know what I was getting into. I was under pressure. They could ask the court to set the agreement aside.
