Take Control of Your Property Settlement

When you’re going through a separation or preparing for a property settlement, one of the biggest time-wasters (and cost-drivers) is missing or disorganised financial documents.

In family law, both parties are legally required to provide full and frank disclosure — that means everything about your finances must be transparent.

To help make this process smoother, we’ve created a FREE Family Law Disclosure Checklist. This practical tool will help you get organised from day one, so you can:
✔ Avoid costly legal delays
✔ Feel confident and prepared
✔ Save time and money

What’s Inside the Disclosure Checklist

Our checklist breaks down everything you’ll need to provide to meet your legal obligations, including:

1. Income & Employment

  • 5 most recent pay slips

  • Tax returns for the past 3 years

2. Superannuation

  • Superannuation member statements for the past 3 years

  • SMSF deed, financial statements, and tax returns (if applicable)

3. Property & Assets

  • Bank statements for all accounts for the past 3 years

  • Loan statements for all loans for the past 3 years

  • Documents for any property you’ve sold or transferred in the past 3 years

4. Business Interests

  • BAS and financial statements for any business for the past 3 years

  • Partnership deeds, financial statements, and tax returns

5. Investments

  • Share and distribution statements for the past 3 years

Bonus Tip: Having these documents ready upfront can significantly speed up negotiations or court processes — saving you both time and legal fees.

Why Getting Organised Matters

  • Faster legal process → less time in back-and-forth with lawyers.

  • Less stress → knowing exactly what’s needed reduces overwhelm.

  • Better outcomes → you’re prepared, informed, and in control.

Even if you’re not ready to start the legal process yet, getting your disclosure sorted early gives you a massive head start.
