We have reached an agreement.It’s time to move Forward>>
Over the years, we've seen clients struggle to navigate the separation agreement process.
We've created an accessible, supportive and affordable solution for separating couples who have reached agreement.
Through our unique online solution, Forward>>, we simplify the process of formalising your property, parenting and child support agreements, and allow you to create your own simple Will.
Forward >> is:
Quick
Complete your agreement online in minutes. We will review it to ensure it has been properly completed, provide guidance and recommendations as to any changes and send it to you for your review – all within a matter of days.
Easy
Do it all online when and where it suits you. We provide real and personalised support, by phone, email and for ACT residents, in person. Our team is here to help every step of the way.
Legally binding
We work with you to produce quality legal documents, taking the time to ensure that your agreement will be enforceable at law, for real peace of mind.
Affordable
Our pricing is clear at the start. No nasty bill shock or unpredictable billable hours.
We combine the convenience of a DIY service with the detail and attention of a full service firm.
We help you to prepare your separation agreement so you can move on with your lives with certainty.
1. Reach an agreement
Forward>> is for couples who have already reached an agreement.
Not quite there? Contact us to book a consult or a Comfort Call.
2. Select a solution
Choose the solution that best suits your needs. You’ll be prompted to send us an email, and shortly afterwards you will receive a link to get started.
Unsure of which solution is for you? You can live chat with Saldo to find out.
3. Complete the interview
You will be asked a series of questions. Forward>> will automatically create your settlement document and send it to us. We will review the details you have provided and may contact you by phone and/or email to let you know if we need more information or whether you may need to complete additional documentation**.
