5 Simple Steps to Separation

Let’s face it, there’s better things to be doing with your life than endless legal squabbling with your ex-partner (and better things you can be doing with your money).  Here’s what you can do to move on with your life quickly, with minimal legal expenses:

  1. Write a list of the assets and liabilities. Including everything: mortgage, student loans, superannuation, and family debts.
  2. Write a list of all the things you’ve each contributed to the marriage over the years, both financial (employment, savings, inheritances) and non-financial contributions (home renovations, parenting, book-keeping).
  3. Book a fixed-fee, initial appointment with an experienced family lawyer, and take your lists with you. Your lawyer can then give you a clear understanding of what a just and equitable separation of your assets and liabilities can look like, and how you can achieve the outcome you want.
  4. Then talk to your partner, and propose a settlement that you know is achievable and fair.  If your ex-partner won’t agree, encourage them to speak to their own lawyer.  If there’s still no agreement, then your lawyer can help you with cost-effective mediation.  Mediation (often called alternative family dispute resolution) can often avoid expensive Court proceedings.
  5. Once an outcome is agreed, your lawyer can do all the necessary paperwork so you (and your ex-partner) can get on with a better life.


If you don't know where to start, then call a family lawyer and ask them for a consult.  Most lawyers offer this service at reduced fees, so that potential clients can figure out their first steps.  If  you and your ex-spouse cannot settle things quickly and amicably, your lawyer can then help you navigate the legal pathway to resolution.
