We help you DIY your property and/or parenting settlement with our assisted DIY separation service, ONWARDS>>.
ONWARDS>> is perfect if you and your former partner are amicable, have reached agreement and are looking to formalise that agreement.
How it works? What's included
The advantage of this pathway is that it is quick, cost effective and will hopefully lead to a more amicable long-term relationship between you and your former partner. Look at it as a ‘get in – get out’ arrangement where you don’t have to spend too much time working with us but we’ll get the results you need to finalise your matter.
The disadvantage of this pathway is that you may not be aware of your legal position while you are negotiating and you may agree to something that is outside your range of entitlement or something that is impractical. This service would not be suitable if there is a power imbalance between you and your former partner or you are unable to reach agreement without further assistance.
Get in touch and arrange a consultation. Let us know that you want to use ONWARDS>> because you have reached agreement. The consultation costs $550 inc GST & lasts for 1 – 1.5 hours. We give you a detailed letter of advice after your consultation. You can choose to meet with us by telephone, video, or in person at our office.
We’ll email you an electronic interactive form for you to complete that will ask you questions about your current situation. You may choose to do this with your former partner or by yourself. It doesn’t really matter, as long as you provide us with the information.
We’ll take your instructions and advise you on a course of action that suits your situation. After the consultation, we’ll confirm our fee estimate quote in writing.
Once you have accepted our quote we’ll prepare your draft documents and send them to you for your approval. Once acceptable to you, we (or you) will give the draft documents to your former partner and make any further minor changes required. Finally, we’ll arrange for you and your partner to execute the documents.
If required, we’ll file the documents at the Court and let you know the outcome of your application.
