Separation Agreement

How it works

Separation is hard enough - getting a binding agreement shouldn’t be. Whether your bank requires one for refinancing or you’ve both decided it’s time to formalise your split, Agreeable makes the process seamless. Our platform guides you through drafting a comprehensive agreement tailored to your needs, then connects you with two independent lawyers for the required advice and certification.

1. Purchase your agreement online

Pay just $595 to access our Agreement builder. It’s a fraction of the cost of a traditional firm, and our team is here to help you prepare your agreement for certification.

2. Complete the questionnaire & build your agreement

Follow our easy step-by-step guide to build your draft in less than 30 minutes. Once complete, your draft agreement will be ready to download immediately. Our team can assist with edits at no extra cost.

3. Certify the agreement

To make your agreement legally binding, both parties need independent legal advice. We’ll connect you with our panel of lawyers for a fixed fee, saving you over $1,000 in costs. The entire process is handled online from the comfort of your home. There’s no need to travel to a law office or coordinate multiple appointments.
