Considering separation? Don't know what to do?

Whatever you decide, know where you stand.

You may fall into one of the following two categories:

You are considering separation but want to know more
‍

You are thinking about separation but are afraid of what might happen next. You want clear, practical advice about how it works, how long it takes, what it costs and how it will impact your finances and children. You want to make informed decisions before taking the next step.

‍

You intend to separate but want to plan for it first
‍

This is your opportunity to move deliberately, plan your separation properly, and position yourself strategically to achieve an outcome you and your family deserve. If you don't take control now, you risk being forced to react later. Take action before your spouse does.

By thinking ahead, you avoid the common mistakes that lead to expensive, drawn-out disputes later on.

Thank you again for today. You have achieved more in the last 72 hours than my previous lawyer did in 2 years.
N. Brisbane
Thank you so much for all of your advice and work to bring my settlement to a close. I came to you very scared and in a weak position after receiving so much bad advice. I am so grateful for the high level of knowledge and skill that you brought to the table to resolve my matter.
K. Lawyer
Joe, you are one of the most passionate people I have ever met when it comes to your job. You clearly enjoy helping people. You are super prepared, and your customer service skills are as good as I have experienced.
J. Financial Professional
I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have you looking after my case. Upon reading the letter you wrote to the other side, tears filled my eyes as to the relief it gave me to have someone like you support me in such a manner.
S. Brisbane
Thank you, Joe, for levelling the playing field with my husband and his aggressive lawyers. The hardest time of my life and you helped me keep my chin above water.
E. Brisbane
Thank you for everything you did on Friday, you made me feel relaxed while we worked through the financial and parenting matters. I am glad I walked away from my previous lawyers and found you. It was a great outcome.
M. Business Owner

Separation is emotionally challenging, but it is also a significant legal event.

Separating from a partner is a decision with far-reaching consequences. The decisions you make today will permanently shape your future. Generic advice from friends and family won't reflect your unique situation or protect your interests. You need clear strategic guidance to secure the outcome you deserve.

  • Know where you stand legally
  • Obtain clarity before you commit to a decision
  • Understand legal consequences and options

FAQ

Separation Planning

What’s a sensible first step before separating?

Get informed before you act. Understanding your financial position, your legal rights and the likely outcome brings immediate clarity and puts you in a much stronger position for whatever comes next.

Every conversation with us is completely confidential.

What does pre-separation advice from FLP typically involve?

We look at your full picture - finances, family, timing and risks - and give you a clear plan for how and when to act. That includes understanding your rights, the likely settlement outcome, and any practical steps to take before you separate to protect your position.

Our advice to you is confidential. Your partner will never know you've spoken with us.

Why is pre-separation planning worth doing?

Preparation before separation gives you clarity and a strategic advantage. A well-planned exit protects your finances, keeps your children's interests front and centre, and helps you avoid the common mistakes that lead to costly, drawn-out disputes later on.

We understand that when you’re navigating a separation or family law dispute, the financial strain can sometimes stand in the way of accessing the legal support you deserve. That’s why FLP Family Law have partnered with JustFund - Australia’s only dedicated provider of flexible funding solutions for family law legal fees.

Through this partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and expenses related to separation or property matters, with nothing to repay until your settlement is reached.Approval is based on your legal matter, not your income or credit score, making quality legal representation accessible even during times of financial hardship.
