Sadly, Australia’s family law system is among the worst in the world, because the rules about financial settlements are very vague. 

Without black and white rules, separating couples hear all sorts of views about their settlement - and of course those ideas usually conflict. 

So if you haven’t been able to reach a settlement deal on your own yet, that’s normal.

The first thing you should do is get a clear and practical understanding of how settlements work.

We offer two free Quick Guides that answer key questions you need to know about financial settlements: 

1.  "What's Fair and Reasonable?"

2. "How Can We Formalise the Agreement We've Reached?"

We also offer free phone consultations. 

Read on below for more detail:

If you don’t yet have an agreement, you’ll find the Quick Guide “What’s Fair and Reasonable?” a real help. 

It covers these topics:

• How Australia’s vague settlement laws affect you.
• Why “what am I entitled to?” is a difficult question to answer.
• The normal range that 98% of separating couples fit into.
• How to find the ballpark wealth split that’s right for you.
• Whether going to court or through lawyers makes sense for you.
• How flexible you can be in the way you divide your finances.
• What to do next.

Reading "What's Fair and Reasonable?" will give you a better framework to understand how settlements work and what you should do to find agreement with your former partner.

"How Can We Formalise the Agreement We've Reached?"

If you do have an agreement between you and need to know how to make it formal, then you should read the Free Quick Guide “How Can We Formalise the Agreement We've Reached?".  

It covers these key matters:

• The two types of agreement you can use to formalise your financial settlement - and how to choose between them.
• Whether you need a formal document at all.
• How superannuation transfers, property title transfers, mortgage refinancing and cash settlements are handled.
• Traps to avoid and how to stop your deal “unravelling”.
• Timing issues.
• Typical costs.

Reading "How Can We Formalise the Agreement We've Reached?" will give you clarity about your options, how long they'll take, what they'll cost and how to keep your deal together.

Would you like to talk it through?

In addition to requesting either of the Quick Guides (or both of them), you're welcome to have a phone discussion about your situation. There's no charge for that.

Everyone who talks with us says that they find our practical, non-legalese way of discussing their situation is enormously helpful. You'll get much greater clarity, and probably quite some relief.

You can ask us about anything that's on your mind about your financial settlement. For example:

• "I (or we) have a deal in mind - does it make sense?"
• "My ex is talking about making a claim against me - what do I do?"
• "How do I get my ex to take action and get this resolved?"
• "I have a new partner now - how does that affect things?"
• "How can I keep our agreement from falling apart?"

The phone consultation usually takes 10 to 20 minutes. It's free of charge.
