We can provide advice about your legal entitlements, assist with negotiating a practical resolution, and formalise any settlement reached to ensure it is legally binding and enforceable, even where you and your former partner remain on good terms.
Whether through Consent Orders, Financial Agreements or, where necessary, Court proceedings, our focus is on achieving fair and cost-effective outcomes while minimising conflict wherever possible.

More commonly known as a "pre-nup", a Financial Agreement can be entered into at any stage of a relationship, including before marriage or commencing a de facto relationship, during a relationship, or after separation. We can assist with the preparation of Financial Agreements tailored to your circumstances and provide independent legal advice where required. We can also provide Certificates of Independent Legal Advice for Financial Agreements prepared by other lawyers.

Whether you are seeking a one-off appointment to better understand your legal entitlements or require assistance completing a Form 11, we can provide advice and support at any stage of your property settlement.
