Hugh Jackman reportedly won't sign a pre-nup with Sutton Foster — and that's raising eyebrows over his $170 million fortune.

Bruce Provan, Managing Director at Page Provan Family & Fertility Lawyers, uses this celebrity case to explain how pre-nups work in Australia, where they're called Binding Financial Agreements, and why they matter especially in second marriages.

BFAs protect pre-relationship wealth, but they can be set aside if signed under duress or poorly drafted. Getting it right from the start is critical — whether you're Hugh Jackman protecting $170 million or someone protecting what you've built before a new relationship starts.
