Divorce Settlement Agreement Separation Template (Financial Agreement under to s90D Family Law act 1975)
Making a Financial Agreement allows you to decide how to divide joint financial resources rather than having the court impose a decision for you.
Sitting down with your partner now to work out what your agreement needs to achieve, before you both run off to the lawyers, will save you considerable time, your lawyers time and your money.
Furthermore you’ll minimise the risk of having a lawyer draft a one sided agreement that fails to reflect the needs of either party.
For just $49 our Divorce Separation Agreement kit provides the framework for a compliant property settlement contract that will save you hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars. Not to mention the wasted time and anxiety that comes with protracted litigation.
Thousands of Australian couples have used this process to move forward with their lives, fairly and affordably. You can too.
A word of warning
If you do decide to download a document from the internet, only a document drafted to comply with Australia’s Family Law Act 1975 and reviewed by an Australian lawyer will protect you. If you can’t speak in person to the staff of the company making the offer, proceed with caution.
On the other hand, if you want to speak with us, all you have to do is pick up the phone and call 1800 608 088.

“Hi Ian, I can’t thank you enough for the great service I received from you and your team. When I had queries, I received prompt replies. Several times you replied by telephone. This is unheard of from most online businesses. I am also grateful for the amount of money I saved, unbelievable. I have no hesitation in recommending you to family and friends.”

Quick Answers Before You Start
Can we do everything remotely? Yes – entirely. The kit is downloaded instantly. Your completed BFA Planner is submitted online. The solicitor appointments are conducted by phone or Zoom. You never need to visit an office. This works just as well whether you’re in the same city or on opposite sides of the country.
What if we have superannuation to divide? The BFA Planner covers superannuation too. Note that super splitting involves an additional step: your super fund needs to approve the draft superannuation agreement before you proceed to the Legal Advice stage. We’ll guide you through this.
Is the Certificate of Legal Advice guaranteed? In the vast majority of cases, yes. In rare circumstances a solicitor may identify a concern – such as evidence of duress or undisclosed assets – that prevents them from issuing the Certificate. If this occurs we’ll discuss it with you directly. It happens very rarely, but we believe in being upfront about it.

Forget Legal Jargon and blank legal Forms
Getting started here means answering a set of plain-English questions about your situation – in your own words, at your own pace.
We’ll ask about what you own and owe: property, super, savings, debts, vehicles, etc, and how you wish to divide it.
The completed BFA Planner is yours to keep and serves as a properly organised record of your property and finances, which is what a thorough property settlement needs.
It’s a Word document you can save, step away from, and come back to. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to send it – so there’s no pressure to have every answer ready before you start.
When you do send your completed Planner to us for review, that’s what gets things moving. Your answers are used to build your draft Financial Agreement, drawing on the framework we’ve refined across thousands of BFAs since 2009 – reviewed personally by our team.
Then our team will be in touch. If your arrangement fits within the scope of the Legal Review Service, we’ll confirm it and talk you through what happens next; if it isn’t quite there yet, we’ll explain why and what still needs sorting.
If it’s ready to proceed, a single payment of $3,250 gets your matter formally underway, and covers everything from that point to signing. From there, we work through the finer detail together by phone and email – the points people often miss – getting your agreement ready for the legal advice stage.
Then two independent lawyers, one for each of you, provide the advice and certification the Family Law Act 1975 requires. Your lawyer will finalise your agreement and provide the final version ready for signing.

“Everything that was promised was delivered. The process was extremely easy to follow, excellent service by Ian when I needed specific information and more importantly stress free! Timeframe was short and the Lawyers that were assigned were equally as prompt and helpful.”

How to Obtain the Required Legal Advice at a Fixed Price
Important note: under the Family Law Act 1975, a financial agreement is binding only when it is signed by both parties and contains a certificate confirming that each party has obtained independent legal advice prior to signing the agreement.
Our financial agreement review service is available to assist you in completing the legal advice component of your agreement at a low fixed rate of just $3,250 for both parties.
A Look at What We Actually Ask
No dense legal clauses to wade through here – just plain questions about your situation, with enough detail to meet the law’s disclosure requirements and no more. Below is a look at a few sample questions from the questionnaire, so you can see how the document is set out.
You can use this Separation Kit if you are separated (married or de facto), divorced or splitting Superannuation. This Kit covers all scenarios.
In a nutshell, we work with you from start to finish. From the moment you download your agreement to the final signature. We know our stuff, our systems are finely tuned and our customers love us for it.
