Breaking up is hard to do, but so is coming together. We get it, talking about breaking up and who gets what is difficult when you are in a relationship and even more difficult when you have just left me. We have helped many different situations and because of our experience, we prioritise the human element over the process. You and your ideal outcome drives the process and not the other way around. When you enter a relationship and you and your partner don't start on an even footing financially, a contracting out agreement can help you. The agreement records who brought what to the relationship and what happens to your property if you separate or one of you dies.

It is called a contracting out agreement because once signed, you and your partner will have opted out of the equal sharing rules set out in our relevant legislation. Instead, you will make your own contractual arrangements with your partner.

At the other end of the relationship spectrum, when you exit a relationship, a separation agreement records your legal separation from your partner and sets out how your relationship assets and liabilities will be divided between you. This can be an emotional time and we are here to help.
