Protect your assets and agree on a fair way to divide them before heightened emotions slide into the driver’s seat. With an experienced team guiding you, you’ll create an honest reflection of what’s reasonable if you decide to separate.
Binding financial agreements can feel daunting for many couples. When you’re excited about your future together, preparing for the worst can feel strange. But proactive action isn’t a bad thing. The sole purpose is to come to an agreement that can help keep things peaceful and smooth in the event of a separation.
Mostly, agreements like this are used as a safety net. Once you’ve created one, you can decide whether to use it in the future. It allows you to divide your assets fairly before emotions become heated. This way, your mutual expectations tend to be more accurately reflected.
Generally, an agreement is less expensive and more straightforward than your other options after separation. If you choose to use it, this agreement can spare you from exhausting and expensive court battles or mediation meetings.
In the event of a divorce or separation, you’ll have enough to deal with – a binding financial agreement helps remove the financial stress from the process.
Protect your assets and your kids, understand your rights, and create a binding agreement. All without going to Court.
It’s a great start to have a written agreement outlining what should happen to your property or kids after separation, but it’s usually best to formalise it with a consent order. This protects you from future problems by making your agreement legally binding.
Basically, a consent order has the same effect as a court order, without going to Court. Once the Court approves your plan, your obligations will be enforceable by law.
Our goal is to make this process as smooth as possible for you and your family and help you avoid mistakes that could hurt you later on.

You and your former partner, with the help of your lawyers, can make arrangements for your kids in various ways.
Parenting plans.
A parenting plan is an informal agreement, signed by both parents, agreeing on how to move forward. This agreement is not legally binding. While you don’t require a lawyer to create a parenting plan, we do advise seeking legal advice or assistance to ensure all your bases are covered.
Parenting orders.
If you can’t come to a mutual agreement, you can apply for a parenting order with the Family Court. Here, the Court will decide each parent’s responsibilities and arrangements for your children.
Before you apply, you’re required to undergo family dispute resolution (a mediation process designed to see if the matter can be settled outside Court). Our team will support and advise you throughout the entire process and/or onto the Court to secure a parenting order.
Consent orders.
A consent order has the same effect as a court order, without going to Court.
After creating a parenting plan with your former spouse, our team will help you create an application for the Court to formalise your parenting plan. Once approved, your obligations will be enforceable by law.
Pick a time that suits you, and we’ll lock in a call with one of our lawyers.
