If you’ve recently separated, you may be wondering how your property settlement will be resolved. Every separation is different, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or unsure about what happens next.
At Pages Family Law, we offer a clear, supportive, and strategic process to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
Step 1: Book Your Free Discovery Call
Our process starts with a free 15-minute discovery call, which you can book online at a time that suits you.
In this call, we:
- ● Listen to your situation and priorities
- ● Explain how we can help with your family law property settlement
- ● Provide referrals if we’re not the right fit
Step 2: Understand the Property Division Process
In your initial consultation, we’ll give you an overview of:
- ● Your legal rights and responsibilities in property settlement
- ● The typical family law property division process
- ● Your available options, whether by negotiation, mediation or consent orders
You’ll also receive our Property Settlement Guide—a helpful resource to refer to as you move through each stage.
Step 3: Confirm the Balance Sheet & Settlement Range
Once we have a complete picture of your financial and property assets, we’ll:
- ● Prepare a balance sheet
- ● Advise you on the likely range of outcomes
- ● Tailor proposed settlement options based on your goals
Step 4: Choose a Negotiation Method That Works for You
Every person and every separation is different. We offer flexible support, whether you prefer:
- ● Negotiating directly through lawyers
- ● Attending family law mediation
- ● Managing your own negotiations with our guidance in the background
We’ll explain the costs, timeframes and next steps for each method, so you can choose the process that’s right for you.
Step 5: Finalise Your Agreement with Certainty
Your final property settlement agreement is documented in a way that best suits your situation. This may include:
- ● Parenting arrangements
- ● Spousal maintenance
- ● Consent orders or Binding Financial Agreements
Once your matter is finalised, you’ll be able to move forward knowing your legal and financial interests are protected.
Whether you’re just beginning your property division journey, or you’ve already received a lawyer’s letter or Court documents – we can help.
