Separate fairly - without the legal battle

We help Australian couples document their property settlement peacefully, affordably, and legally - from the comfort of home.

When a relationship ends, most people just want to move forward – fairly, and without a legal battle defining the end of it.

If you and your ex are on the same page about dividing your property, there’s a simpler way. No court. No lawyers billing by the hour. A legally binding agreement, done properly, from home.

Thousands of Australian couples have already done exactly this. You probably can too.

We were De Facto

We are/were Married

Already divorced? The married path covers you.

A legally binding separation agreement has two parts. We help you with both.

Step 1: Your agreement kit – $147

Download your separation agreement kit instantly. It’s written in plain English, professionally drafted by Australian family law experts, and guides you through documenting how your assets and liabilities will be divided. No legalese. No confusion.

Step 2: The Legal Review Service – $3,490

Once your draft is complete, we assess whether it is suitable for the Legal Review Service – including whether the terms appear reasonably fair, whether proper advice can be provided within the fixed-fee structure, and whether the agreement is likely to be enforceable

Our fixed-price Legal Review Service connects each of you with your own independent family law solicitor by phone or Zoom. Each solicitor advises their client separately as required under the Family Law Act. If the solicitors are satisfied the agreement meets the legal requirements – including that both parties are entering into it freely and without improper pressure – they will issue the Certificates of Independent Legal Advice required to make the agreement legally binding.

The fixed fee of $3,490 covers the legal advice for both parties, together with the work required to prepare and coordinate the agreement for review (unless the matter is unusually complex). The fee is paid in two stages: $990 once your draft is approved for the service and prepared for review, with the remaining $2,500 payable before the legal advice appointments.

No court. No endless back-and-forth with lawyers charging by the hour. Just a structured process designed to help amicable couples formalise their agreement properly.

Affordable Doesn't Mean Cutting Corners

You might be surprised that there’s a more affordable way to formalise your property settlement.

RP Emery & Associates has been helping Australian couples finalise their property settlements since 2009. We’ve guided thousands of couples through the process – people in exactly your situation, who wanted a fair outcome without the fighting.

The two independent lawyers aren’t a shortcut. They’re a genuine legal requirement under the Family Law Act 1975, and their job is to protect both of you. The fixed price is possible because the process is predictable – our lawyers know exactly what’s involved and can work within a set fee.

You might have already called a solicitor and been quoted $5,000, $10,000, or more. That quote wasn’t wrong – that’s what it costs when lawyers draft everything from scratch and bill every phone call. We’ve built a smarter way to get to the same legally binding result.

"Thank you for your help. Your process was very good and easy to follow. My allocated lawyer acted promptly and was very helpful in explaining everything to me. Well done.
- Helen B.

Common Questions

Check out some commonly asked questions or feel free to reach out to us. We’re available to answer your questions by phone on 1800 608 088 or email.

Which kit do I need?

Answer a few quick questions and our agreement finder above will point you to exactly the right kit for your situation — married or de facto, separated or divorced, with or without superannuation to divide.

How long does the process take?

Most couples complete their draft agreement within one to two weeks. Once submitted, our team checks it promptly and, if suitable, you’ll be invited to proceed to the Legal Advice stage. The full process from purchase to signed agreement typically takes two to four weeks, depending on how quickly both parties complete their draft agreement and their solicitor appointments.

Can we do everything remotely?

Yes – entirely. The kit is downloaded instantly. Your draft 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?

We have kits that specifically cover superannuation splitting – both standard super funds and self-managed super funds (SMSFs). If you need to divide super, make sure you select the correct kit when using the agreement finder. 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.
