Same Sex Separation Agreement

This agreement is used whenever a gay male or lesbian couple have agreed to separate and they wish to formalise their agreement about the division of Assets, Liabilities, Property and Maintenance.

Financial agreements between same sex couples negate the need to enter costly court proceedings and extended litigation following a relationship breakdown.

When a relationship ends, reaching an amicable agreement quickly about debts, assets and property can reduce conflict and stress.

A Financial Agreement allows you to decide how to divide joint financial resources outside the court system between yourselves, which lets you relax and get on with your life.

Our Same Sex Separation Financial Agreement kit provides the framework for a compliant separation contract that will save you hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars. Not to mention the wasted time and anxiety that comes with protracted litigation.

Sitting down with your former partner now to work out what your agreement needs to achieve, before you both run off to the lawyers, will save you considerable time, money and anxiety.

You will also minimise the risk of having a lawyer draft a one-sided agreement that may fan the flames of conflict.

Many couples view financial agreements as a logical alternative to court action and a reliable exit strategy. If you’ve been living in a gay de facto relationship you can make a financial agreement under s90UD of the Family Law Act or s205ZP or the Family Court Act 1997 in Western Australia.

5 step financial agreement process

The Easier First Step

Start With the Financial Agreement Kit including BFA Planner – Just $49

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.

Alongside the BFA Planner, you’ll also have the plain-English User’s Guide, a step-by-step Process Guide, and a bonus Will Kit, because separation is exactly the time your Will needs updating too.

The completed questionnaire 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 draft fits within 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 payment of $990 gets your matter formally underway. From there, we work through the finer detail together by phone and email – the points people often miss – getting your agreement ready for the next stage.

Once that’s done, the final balance payment of $2,260 unlocks the next stage: two independent lawyers – one for each of you. They provide the advice and certification the Family Law Act requires. Your lawyer will finalise your agreement and provide the final version ready for signing.

“I found it exceptional in every way. I was kept up to date with the process and any queries were answered within the day. It made the separation process much easier and I would highly recommend this service to any friends in the future. Thank you for everything.” — Kim Watt

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 Planner is set out.

It doesn’t matter what kind of financial agreement you need or which state you live in – the planner forms for foundation of the correct financial agreement for your situation.

How to Obtain the Required Legal Advice at a Fixed Price

Important note: Under the Family Law Act 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 FA at a LOW FIXED RATE of just $3,250 for both parties.

Just like thousands of other delighted customers, you too can minimise the financial and emotional cost of separation by using our questionnaire-led process and Legal Review Service.

How It Works and What It Costs

A simple process – a few honest questions, a confirmed understanding, a draft preview so you know what’s coming, then the independent legal advice that makes it binding.
