Separating’s hard.
Making it fair isn’t.
Separate with confidence. Start with a free, personalised split check. If you both agree, turn it into consent orders. Packages start from $1,199, with family lawyer review and filing available in our supported packages.

A verbal agreement isn’t the same as protection.
Agreeing on a split is a big step. A verbal agreement does not give you the same legal protection as court-approved consent orders. Consent orders make your agreement legally binding once approved, giving you both a clearer way forward. Splitways makes it easier to take that next step.
Read more: what’s a consent order?
A consent order is a legally binding court order made by agreement. You both need to agree to the proposed terms, and the Court must be satisfied that a property settlement is just and equitable. Approval is not automatic.

Splitways is a great fit if…
You can still talk to your ex, you’ve broadly agreed (or want to), and you’d like a clearer, supported way to handle the paperwork together.
Splitways isn’t the right path if…
You’re facing family violence or coercion, you don’t feel safe negotiating, or your ex won’t engage. You deserve the right support. Here are some options to explore:
From uncertain to sorted, in three guided steps.
Step 1
You agree, we draft
Start with a few plain-English questions about your situation. Split Suggest gives you a fair, court-informed starting point. Once you both agree, we help prepare the details for your documents.
Step 2
A family lawyer reviews it
With SplitPlus and SplitPro, a qualified family lawyer reviews your agreement before filing. SplitBase provides documents and guidance for customers who choose to handle filing themselves.
Step 3
The court makes it binding
Both of you review and sign the documents. The application is considered by the Court, usually on the papers. Once approved, your consent orders make the agreement legally binding.
