Efficiency and Affordability: One of the standout features of The Separation Suite is its commitment to making the settlement process efficient and affordable. We understand traditional legal avenues create a financial burden, and we believe everyone deserves access to quality settlement documents cost-effectively, without compromising on quality.
Comprehensive Document Options: The Separation Suite offers three key document creation options for when you have agreed on a settlement:
- Application for Consent Orders – Financial: $1,895 plus GST
- Application for Consent Orders – Parenting Only: $2,295 plus GST
- A combined Application for Consent Orders - Parenting and Financial: $3,495 plus GST
Consent orders are written agreements in which you and your Ex agree on and ask the Court to formalise as court orders. Once we have drafted your documents, You can apply to the Court for consent orders to be made without actually going to or appearing in court.
You can make consent orders for both parenting and/or financial arrangements at the same time in the one application. The Orders sought meet the criteria set out in the Family Law Act 1975 for being in the best interests of the children and just and equitable in relation to financial matters. The Court cannot make orders that don’t meet that criteria, even if everyone else agrees.
