Amicable Separation Agreement
Put the practical arrangements you both agree now into one calm written record — the home, bills and debts, personal property, vehicles, pets, communication and any interim parenting arrangements. A private agreement, not a court order or final property settlement.

Direct answer
An amicable separation agreement records the practical interim arrangements both people presently accept for the home, bills, accounts, debts, property, pets and any children. It is not a final property settlement or court order.
What this document actually does
- Records where each person will live and how the home, mortgage, rent and bills are handled for now.
- Records agreed arrangements for bank accounts, debts, personal property, vehicles and pets.
- Can note interim parenting arrangements while keeping child support and court orders separate.
- Includes a disclosure statement, change process and review date.
- Balanced wording: neither person is treated as the winner or the wrongdoer.
- A private agreement only. It does not replace consent orders or a binding financial agreement.

Legal effectNot as a court order
What it does not do
Incomplete disclosure, coercion, complex assets or disputed final property division. Claim Done prepares self-service documents from the facts and arrangements supplied; it does not represent either person or decide the outcome for them.
The process
From separate positions to agreed wording
Record the exact facts
Names, dates, values, responsibilities and arrangements come from the people involved. Missing facts are not invented.
Review and finalise
Invite the other person, agree each topic, then confirm the complete wording.
Included collaboration dashboard
Both people see the same topics—but keep separate control.
The buyer sends a secure email invitation. Each person records their own position. Either can propose exact joint wording. A topic turns green only after both accept it, and final confirmation is separate again.
The invitation does not expose the buyer’s account, payment information or private documents.

What if I need changes?
You read the full Amicable Separation Agreement on your dashboard first. You can change the wording or ask for a redraft, with unlimited edits and 2 redrafts included, then confirm it and the final PDF is yours to download and keep.
Does it work in my state?
Yes, anywhere in Australia. Family law is national. The document is a private record of what you both agree, not a court order or final property settlement.
Is this a final property settlement?
No. It records practical interim arrangements and what you presently intend. It is not a court order, does not transfer legal title by itself and is not a binding financial agreement under the Family Law Act. If you want a final property arrangement that is enforceable as a court order, use consent orders where suitable.
Can we include child support?
No binding child support terms are created in this document. Child support is dealt with separately through Services Australia or an appropriate child support agreement. A binding child support agreement requires each person to receive independent legal advice.
