If you've already agreed on a settlement deal with your former partner, you need to record your understanding in a legally binding document.

That gives you both certainty and protection for the future. Think of it like insurance.

Legal documents are required if your intended deal involves a superannuation split. And in most cases, legally binding documents also allow property transfers to be exempt from stamp duty.

Quick & practical: 10 days to complete.
Fixed fees: $1,250 (+gst) for each spouse.

No, you don't have to each run off to lawyers who'll charge you hundreds of dollars an hour, argue with each other and make your deal more complicated - or even fall apart.

Instead, at Divorce Partners we can arrange all the paperwork you need and manage the process for you - for a low, fixed fee of $1,250 (+gst) for each spouse or partner. (None of that "charge-by-the-hour" nonsense.)

Once you've provided the information about you and your deal, we can generate the appropriate paperwork in just 3-5 days.
​
And because we work for both of you, not just one of you, you'll remain confident that your arrangements are being handled impartially.

Consent Orders

By far the most common way to get a legally binding financial separation agreement with your former partner is called a Consent Order.

In essence, this means asking the Family Court to review and approve your proposed arrangements.

Many separating couples use Consent Orders to cover matters like:

• assigning ownership of their family home from joint title to sole title;
• one of them taking over responsibility for the mortgage;
• agreeing to sell property and split the net proceeds in a defined proportion;
• making a cash settlement payment from one to the other;
• transferring some superannuation from one to the other;
• assigning cars;
• agreeing who is responsible for paying a credit card or other debt;
• and, very importantly, agreeing that neither has any further claim against the other.

Consent Orders can also be used for formalising arrangements regarding children.

Once you provide the necessary information, we can usually prepare an Application for Consent Orders in as little as 3 days.
