Divorce Is Australia’s Most Overlooked Wealth Destroyer.
Australians obsess over interest rates, housing bubbles, and super tax tweaks, yet the event most likely to gut a family’s finances is divorce. Separation drains super balances, triggers fire sales of homes, and even takes down small businesses. Ian Macleod has spent nearly two decades helping couples prevent those financial meltdowns with binding financial agreements-a tool he reframes as household risk management. By keeping couples out of the adversarial court system, he shows families, and the advisers who support them, how to safeguard wealth strategies from the personal crises that derail more fortunes than any market shock.

Ian Macleod reframes binding financial agreements as more than legal fine print: they’re proactive tools for stability that protect both partners while strengthening trust. With 15+ years helping couples structure agreements outside the costly, adversarial court system, Ian shows how “planning for the worst” actually frees couples to pursue FIRE, property, and investing with confidence that their goals won’t vanish if the relationship does.
