Property & Financial Agreements

From Separation to Financial Settlement - Get it Done Right the First Time

We Have a Pathway for You

  • You've agreed? Now let's finalise it properly and move forward.

  • Want to understand your options without heading straight to court?

  • Looking for a path that's quicker, calmer, and more cost-effective?

  • Hoping to avoid long delays and legal back-and-forth?

  • Is staying in control of your own outcome important to you?

  • Do you want to feel confident you're making informed decisions?

Why Do You Need a Property and Financial Settlement?

Reaching a formal property and financial settlement after separation isn’t just about deciding "who gets what" – it's about protecting your future. Without a legally recognised agreement, issues can resurface months or even years later, leaving you exposed to future claims on assets, debts, or superannuation – even if things felt "sorted."

A proper financial settlement gives you:

  • Legal protection and peace of mind

  • Clarity on who keeps what (assets, debts, pets, super)

  • A clean financial break to move forward

  • Fewer disputes and reduced legal costs over time

Whether you've already reached agreement or don’t know where to start, we can help you finalise it properly; fairly, clearly, and with your future in mind.

Start With Us
Not Straight to Lawyers

At Assent Group, we communicate directly with both parties - whereas lawyers, who must rely on formal written correspondence, often resulting in high legal costs. While lawyers are required to gather the same information, the process is slower and more expensive due to the format and formality of communication.

Our approach streamlines the process through direct, efficient communication - keeping things clear, focused, and moving forward.

We put you in control, supporting you at your own pace without pressure or unnecessary fees. Our goal is to help you gain clarity before conflict escalates, and to work towards respectful, future-focused solutions.

Legal advice still plays an important role and is part of our process - but starting with us can reduce stress, preserve your asset pool, and lead to more constructive outcomes. Our experienced practitioners support both parties in reaching agreement on property and financial matters, including interim arrangements and practical settlement plans.

Even if you haven’t started with us, that’s ok, it’s not too late to save costs. Get to your goal quicker, reduce stress and start down a better path for both of you.

When Should You Finalise Your Property and Financial Matters?

The ideal time to resolve financial matters is soon after separation - once you have the clarity and support to make informed decisions. You don’t need to wait until divorce to start, if you have not already, we recommend you sort out your finances first.

Acting early helps reduce stress, avoid costly delays, and protect your asset pool. It’s also when communication tends to be more open and reaching agreement is more achievable.

Mediation works best before conflict escalates or legal costs build up. Early resolution can save you thousands and give you the confidence to move forward.

Even if it’s been some time since you separated, and things remain unresolved - the best time to act is now.

Keeping the Future in Mind

You should start with us if you want:

  • A cost-effective process with transparent fees upfront

  • To stay in control of your own outcome

  • Support without billable hours

  • A respectful and constructive process, we keep you on track

  • Focus on collaboration before conflict
