Document background
The Cheap Separation Agreement is designed for couples in Australia who are seeking to formalize their separation without incurring significant legal costs. This document is particularly suitable for couples who have reached an amicable agreement about their separation terms and require a formal document to record these arrangements. It complies with the Family Law Act 1975 and related Australian legislation, making it a legally valid option for both married and de facto couples. While more affordable than a fully customized agreement, it still covers all essential aspects including property division, financial arrangements, and living situations. The document can be used as a stepping stone toward divorce proceedings or as a standalone agreement for couples who wish to separate but not immediately divorce. It's recommended to have the agreement reviewed by a legal professional, even though it's designed to be more cost-effective than traditional separation agreements.
