My de-facto and I spent 6 months ironing out an agreement and both signed the documents for the Family Court. The Registrar knocked it back and we amended the settlement with an agreed increase in cash which we both signed. The same deputy registrar knocked it back again. It is up for a Judicial Registrar. How can we two adults come to an agreement and not have it ratified?

How can we two adults come to an agreement and not have it ratified?

Assuming all paperwork & formalities are correct, most common reason is the terms you have agreed on have failed the just & equitable test.

Was it a BFA?
What were the reasons that it was refused?
