86 De facto relationships that broke down before commencement
(1) Subject to item 86A, Parts VIIIAB and VIIIB, and subsection 114(2A), of the new Act do not apply in relation to a de facto relationship that broke down before commencement.
Note 1: After commencement, State/Territory law will apply to any proceedings etc. to enforce, discharge, suspend, revive or vary an order or injunction in force at commencement in relation to the maintenance, or the distribution of property, of the parties to the de facto relationship arising out of the breakdown of the de facto relationship.
Note 2: After commencement, State/Territory law will continue to apply to any proceedings pending at commencement for an order or injunction in relation to the maintenance, or the distribution of property, of the parties to the de facto relationship arising out of the breakdown of the de facto relationship.
Note 3: After commencement, State/Territory law will continue to apply if the parties to the de facto relationship have made, or make, an agreement about financial matters arising out of the breakdown of the de facto relationship.

(2) To avoid doubt, section 90RC of the new Act does not exclude the operation of any State or Territory law in relation to the de facto relationship.
Note: Subsection 39A(5) of the new Act will not apply in relation to the de facto relationship because the effect of this item is that a de facto financial cause relating to that relationship cannot be instituted under the new Act.
86A Opting into the new regime
Choosing the new regime
(1) The parties to a de facto relationship that broke down before commencement may choose for Parts VIIIAB and VIIIB, and subsection 114(2A), of the new Act to apply in relation to the de facto relationship.
Note 1: Whether the parties will be able to obtain an order under those provisions of the new Act, or make a Part VIIIAB financial agreement, will depend on whether the tests found in those provisions are satisfied for the de facto relationship.
Note 2: Divisions 3 and 4 of this Part, and section 90UE of the new Act, are not affected by a choice under this item. Those Divisions, and that section, relate to de facto relationships that (if they are to break down) will break down after commencement.
When a choice can be made
(2) A choice under subitem (1) can be made if:
(a) the choice is unconditional; and
(b) subitems (3), (4) and (5) are satisfied for the choice.
A choice is irrevocable.
(3) This subitem is satisfied for the choice if no order (other than an interim order) under a preserved law of a State or Territory has been made by a court in relation to either of the following:
(a) how all or any of the:
(i) property; or
(ii) financial resources;
that either or both of the parties to the de facto relationship had or acquired during the de facto relationship is to be distributed;
(b) the maintenance of either of the parties to the de facto relationship.
(4) This subitem is satisfied for the choice if:
(a) the parties have not made a designated State/Territory financial agreement in relation to their de facto relationship; or
(b) if the parties have made such an agreement, that agreement has ceased to have effect without:
(i) any property being distributed; or
(ii) any maintenance being paid;
under the agreement.
(5) This subitem is satisfied for the choice if:
(a) the choice is in writing and signed by both of the parties to the de facto relationship; and
(b) each of the parties was provided, before the choice was signed by him or her, with:
(i) independent legal advice from a legal practitioner about the advantages and disadvantages, at the time that the advice was provided, to the party of making the choice; and
(ii) a signed statement by the legal practitioner stating that this advice was given to the party.
(6) For the purposes of Part VIIIAB of the new Act, a choice can be included in a Part VIIIAB financial agreement for which the parties are the spouse parties.
Setting aside a choice
(7) A court may make an order setting aside a choice if the court is satisfied that, having regard to the circumstances in which the choice was made, it would be unjust and inequitable if the court does not set the choice aside.
(8) A court setting aside a choice under subitem (7) may make such order or orders (including an order for the transfer of property) as it considers just and equitable to, so far as is practicable, return the rights of:
(a) the parties to the de facto relationship; and
(b) any other interested persons affected by the choice;
to their position immediately before the choice was made.
(9) Subsections 90UM(8) and (9) of the new Act apply in relation to setting aside a choice as if:
(a) a reference in those subsections to subsection 90UM(1) or (6) of the new Act were a reference to subitem (7) or (8); and
(b) the reference in those subsections to section 90UM of the new Act were a reference to this item.
87 Pre-commencement agreements--made in contemplation of de facto relationships
(1) This item applies if:
(a) before commencement, 2 people (the couple) who were contemplating entering into a de facto relationship with each other made a written agreement, signed by both of them, with respect to any of the matters (the eligible agreed matters) mentioned in subitem (3); and
(b) the agreement was made under a preserved law of an earlier participating jurisdiction; and
(c) a court could not, because of the preserved law, make an order under that law that is inconsistent with the agreement with respect to any of the eligible agreed matters; and
(d) immediately before commencement:
(i) the agreement was in force under the preserved law; and
(ii) if the couple had entered into the de facto relationship--the de facto relationship had not broken down; and
(iii) the couple were not married to each other.
Paragraph (a) extends to an agreement made with one or more other people.
Note: Agreements made in non-referring States are not covered by this item. Those agreements continue to be governed by State law unless they are transformed into Part VIIIAB financial agreements (see section 90UE of the new Act and Division 4 of this Part).
(2) For the purposes of the new Act, the agreement is taken, on and after commencement, to be a Part VIIIAB financial agreement made as mentioned in subsection 90UB(1) of the new Act to the extent that the agreement deals with the eligible agreed matters.
Note: After commencement, the agreement can only be enforced, varied, terminated or otherwise set aside under the new Act.
(3) The matters referred to in paragraph (a) of subitem (1) are the following:
(a) how all or any of the:
(i) property; or
(ii) financial resources;
of either member, or members, of the couple at the time when the agreement is made, or at a later time and during the de facto relationship, is to be distributed in the event of the breakdown of the de facto relationship;
(b) the maintenance of either member of the couple in the event of the breakdown of the de facto relationship;
(c) matters incidental or ancillary to those mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).

88 Pre-commencement agreements--made during de facto relationships
(1) This item applies if:
(a) before commencement and while in a de facto relationship, the parties to the de facto relationship (the couple) made a written agreement, signed by both of them, with respect to any of the matters (the eligible agreed matters) mentioned in subitem (3); and
(b) the agreement was made under a preserved law of an earlier participating jurisdiction; and
(c) a court could not, because of the preserved law, make an order under that law that is inconsistent with the agreement with respect to any of the eligible agreed matters; and
(d) immediately before commencement:
(i) the agreement was in force under the preserved law; and
(ii) the de facto relationship had not broken down; and
(iii) the couple were not married to each other.
Paragraph (a) extends to an agreement made with one or more other people.
Note: Agreements made in non-referring States are not covered by this item. Those agreements continue to be governed by State law unless they are transformed into Part VIIIAB financial agreements (see section 90UE of the new Act).
(2) For the purposes of the new Act, the agreement is taken, on and after commencement, to be a Part VIIIAB financial agreement made as mentioned in subsection 90UC(1) of the new Act to the extent that the agreement deals with the eligible agreed matters.
Note: After commencement, the agreement can only be enforced, varied, terminated or otherwise set aside under the new Act.
(3) The matters referred to in paragraph (a) of subitem (1) are the following:
(a) how all or any of the:
(i) property; or
(ii) financial resources;
of either member, or members, of the couple at the time when the agreement is made, or at a later time and during the de facto relationship, is to be distributed in the event of the breakdown of the de facto relationship;
(b) the maintenance of either member of the couple in the event of the breakdown of the de facto relationship;
(c) matters incidental or ancillary to those mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).
(4) For the purposes of paragraph (c) of subitem (1), disregard whether the preserved law permits the court to make such an order if the court varies or sets aside the agreement.
89 When this Division applies
This Division applies if Parts VIIIAB and VIIIB, and subsection 114(2A), of the new Act:
(a) apply in relation to a de facto relationship; or
(b) would, but for item 90, apply in relation to a de facto relationship;
only because a State has become a later participating jurisdiction.
Note 1: This Division will not apply to a de facto relationship that breaks down during the period starting at commencement and ending at the transition time for the State if, during that period, section 90UE of the new Act has applied in relation to the de facto relationship. This is because it is section 90UE, and not the State becoming a participating jurisdiction, that has caused Part VIIIAB of the new Act to apply in relation to the de facto relationship.
Note 2: The cases covered by paragraph (a) include a case where a de facto relationship has broken down before the transition time for the State and the parties to the relationship make a choice under item 90A.
Example 1: Amy and Ben made an agreement in a non-referring State and then moved to, and spent most of their relationship in, an earlier participating jurisdiction. Their relationship broke down after commencement, but before the non-referring State became a later participating jurisdiction. Their residence in the earlier participating jurisdiction means section 90UE of the new Act will cause Amy and Ben's agreement to become a Part VIIIAB financial agreement.
Example 2: Cathy and Don made an agreement in a non-referring State and did not move from that State. Their relationship broke down after commencement but before the non-referring State became a later participating jurisdiction. That State becoming a later participating jurisdiction is the only way that Part VIIIAB could only apply to Cathy and Don's relationship. This means this Division, and item 90, will apply. The effect of item 90 is that State law will continue to govern Cathy and Don's agreement.
Example 3: During their de facto relationship, Emily and Fred made an agreement in a non-referring State and did not move from that State. Their relationship broke down after the non-referring State became a later participating jurisdiction. That State becoming a later participating jurisdiction is the only way that Part VIIIAB could only apply to Emily and Fred's relationship. This means this Division, and item 92, will apply. The effect of item 92 is that Emily and Fred's agreement will become a Part VIIIAB financial agreement.
90 De facto relationships that break down before transition time for a later participating jurisdiction
(1) Subject to item 90A, Parts VIIIAB and VIIIB, and subsection 114(2A), of the new Act do not apply in relation to the de facto relationship if it broke down before the transition time for the State.
Note 1: After the transition time, the law of the State will apply to any proceedings etc. to enforce, discharge, suspend, revive or vary an order or injunction in force at the transition time in relation to the maintenance, or the distribution of property, of the parties to the de facto relationship arising out of the breakdown of the de facto relationship.
Note 2: After the transition time, the law of the State will continue to apply to any proceedings pending at the transition time for an order or injunction in relation to the maintenance, or the distribution of property, of the parties to the de facto relationship arising out of the breakdown of the de facto relationship.
Note 3: After the transition time, the law of the State will continue to apply if the parties to the de facto relationship have, before the transition time, made an agreement (to which section 90UE of the new Act had not applied) about financial matters arising from that breakdown.
Note 4: After the transition time, the law of the State will continue to apply if the parties to the de facto relationship, after the transition time, make an agreement about financial matters arising from that breakdown.
(2) To avoid doubt, section 90RC of the new Act does not exclude the operation of any State or Territory law in relation to the de facto relationship.
Note: Subsection 39A(5) of the new Act will not apply in relation to the de facto relationship because the effect of this item is that a de facto financial cause relating to that relationship cannot be instituted under the new Act.
90A Opting into the new regime
Choosing the new regime
(1) The parties to a de facto relationship that broke down before the transition time for the State may choose for Parts VIIIAB and VIIIB, and subsection 114(2A), of the new Act to apply in relation to the de facto relationship.
Note 1: Whether the parties will be able to obtain an order under those provisions of the new Act, or make a Part VIIIAB financial agreement, will depend on whether the tests found in those provisions are satisfied for the de facto relationship.
Note 2: Items 91 and 92 are not affected by a choice under this item. Those items relate to de facto relationships that (if they are to break down) will break down after the transition time for the State.

(ii) a signed statement by the legal practitioner stating that this advice was given to the party.
(6) For the purposes of Part VIIIAB of the new Act, a choice can be included in a Part VIIIAB financial agreement for which the parties are the spouse parties.
Setting aside a choice
(7) A court may make an order setting aside a choice if the court is satisfied that, having regard to the circumstances in which the choice was made, it would be unjust and inequitable if the court does not set the choice aside.
(8) A court setting aside a choice under subitem (7) may make such order or orders (including an order for the transfer of property) as it considers just and equitable to, so far as is practicable, return the rights of:
(a) the parties to the de facto relationship; and
(b) any other interested persons affected by the choice;
to their position immediately before the choice was made.
(9) Subsections 90UM(8) and (9) of the new Act apply in relation to setting aside a choice as if:

(b) the reference in those subsections to section 90UM of the new Act were a reference to this item.
