now make it official.

You separated. You worked out who keeps what. This tool completes the Court’s own forms, not lookalikes, checked the way a Registrar checks them, for a fixed price you can see from here.

how it works

four steps. no lawyers. no jargon.

The Court publishes the forms. What it does not give you is plain English, checking, or confidence. That is the job.

01

answer

Plain questions, answered in turns, each of you from your own device and your own inbox. That separation is deliberate: nobody signs anything with someone watching over their shoulder. Every answer stays on your device. We never see it.

The other party reviews every item and marks agree, or disagrees with reasons. Every hand-back is logged, and your pack includes the full exchange record. Stuck on the same thing twice? An accredited mediator can usually settle it in one session — the national register is at amdras.au.

you can fill in a form.

If the two of you have already agreed, the rest is paperwork. Here is the same paperwork, quoted two ways.

  • letters back and forth between two firms
  • amendments, and letters about the amendments

Do it yourself for $695, with a tool that stops you making the mistakes people attempting this alone make every day. Same court, same forms, same sealed orders at the end.

one price, whatever your matter involves. the court's filing fee is separate whoever you use. the lawyer range is the usual quote for consent orders where nothing is in dispute.

why sealed orders

an agreement is not an order.

The deal you have reached — across a table, by message, in mediation — binds neither of you. A heads of agreement, a signed summary, a carefully worded document you both keep: none of it is enforceable, and none of it closes the door.

  1. Until orders are sealed, nothing is final.

    A former partner can bring a property claim long after you thought it was settled, and an informal agreement will not stop it. Sealed consent orders end the claim — formally, finally, and on the terms the two of you chose.

  2. Superannuation cannot be split by handshake.

    A fund trustee acts on a court order, not on a promise or a mediator’s summary. If your agreement touches super — and most do — orders are not optional.

  3. The transfer costs hang on it.

    The usual stamp duty concession on moving the home between separating partners generally depends on formal orders. An informal deal can turn a routine transfer into a five-figure duty bill.

three ways to turn your agreement into orders.

let a tool suggest your splitquick, then unsure
  • you answer questions about your relationship
  • it proposes a percentage
  • the number on the screen becomes the anchor
  • neither of you chose it, and neither can explain it
  • you still have to prepare and file the documents

buy the orders onlythen the long part
  • you are sent a Minute of Consent Orders
  • the Court’s Application is left for you to complete
  • it is the longer document, and the one with the asset table
  • those figures must reconcile with the orders, to the dollar
  • when they do not, a requisition comes back
you end up withhalf the job

the questions everybody asks.

is our agreement binding?

Not on its own. Until a court seals orders, an agreement between you binds neither of you, and a property claim can still be brought years later.

how long have we got?

Twelve months from the date a divorce becomes final, or two years from the end of a de facto relationship. After that you need the court's permission.

can we split super?

Yes, by court order, and only by court order. A fund trustee acts on an order, never on a promise or a mediator's summary.

all 57 questions and answers — time limits, superannuation, debts, stamp duty, requisitions, and what happens after the orders are made.

why this one

built the way a Registrar reads.

  1. It uses the Court's own forms.

    Your answers land inside the published Application and orders template, the real files, fonts and all. What you file is what the registry is expecting to see, not a reconstruction that resembles it.

  2. Every order names the thing it deals with.

    The car by its rego. The account by its number. The fund by its name. Nothing generic, and nothing a Registrar has to guess at.

  3. It refuses rather than guesses.

    Bankruptcy, proceeds of crime, a self managed fund you both belong to, a split neither of you could fund. It stops and says which one, instead of producing something wrong. A stopped matter costs you nothing.

  4. It asks the questions people forget.

    Student loan balances. Why one of you has no superannuation. The letter a fund trustee has to get 28 days before a split. Asked here, so a requisition does not ask them in six weeks.

  5. Neither of you can quietly change the deal.

    Nothing is produced while a single item is disputed. Once you have both signed, altering an order withdraws the other person's statement and sends it back to them. The exchange record shows every send, return and reason.

  6. The finish line is sealed orders, not a hopeful document.

    Plenty of tools and templates help you write an agreement. An agreement binds no one. This one exists to produce the thing a Registrar actually seals — and a panel of Australian family lawyers advises on how the product is governed. It never gives legal advice, and stops whenever your matter needs it.

Your matter does leave your device once: when you send it to your former partner. It is encrypted before it goes, and what passes through us is a locked box we have no key to.

You see your full outcome, both sides agreed, every check passed, while it is still free. The only thing behind the price is the paperwork itself.
