A single mother of two signed a prenup agreement without proper legal advice, leading to a Binding Financial Agreement that she spent years and $250,000 in a failed bid to have it set aside, has launched a prenup service to avoid the same thing happening to others.
Most people would walk away from a torrid and expensive experience like that but for Tan Watson she decided to go to law school at 35 and ‘get even’.
Now graduating from the University of New South Wales, she has launched Prenup Australia in July 2026, an online platform that forces the very safeguard that failed her.
Couples draft together from home. Each then receives independent legal advice from a separate family lawyer drawn from different firms on the platform’s panel. No shared firm. No shortcuts.
Launched in July 2026, the service has already signed up hundreds of couples. Fixed pricing: $890 for the agreement, independent advice from $800 per partner. The whole process, from the drafting, advice, and signing, stays online.
Watson’s point is that a properly done prenup should not be a luxury or a months-long ordeal. Prenup Australia is a document preparation service, not a law firm. Legal advice comes solely from the panel lawyers acting for their own clients.
“It’s better to have a prenup and not need one than to need a prenup and not have one,” she says.
