By Partners in Planning – Melbourne-based Independent Financial Planners
Divorce is rarely just emotional — it’s often financially disorienting, too. Whether you’ve just begun the legal process or are staring at a freshly stamped settlement, it’s normal to feel uncertain about what comes next.
At Partners in Planning, we specialise in helping individuals navigate the financial aftermath of family law matters with clarity, structure, and compassion. We’re fully independent and have created a transparent fixed-fee process specifically designed for people coming out of separation or divorce.
You Don’t Need All the Answers Right Away — Just a Safe Place to Start
Many of our clients come to us in the middle of the divorce process. They’re unsure what they’re entitled to, what a fair outcome looks like, or how to even begin planning for their next chapter. That’s why we offer a fixed-fee initial chat – a general advice session to help you get grounded.
- We’ll help you understand the key financial components of a family law settlement
- You’ll gain clarity on what you should be thinking about — assets, superannuation, property, cash flow, tax, and more
- There’s no pressure. Just honest, practical guidance
This isn’t legal advice, and we don’t replace your lawyer — but we do help you think clearly about the financial impacts so you’re not making decisions in the dark. It’s important to note there is no personal advice in this session. We can only talk in general terms and talk foundational importances during the divorce processed. You only get charged for the hour session, no hidden extra costs.
Once the Divorce Is Finalised: Your Financial Future, Reimagined
When the court order is stamped and the dust settles, that’s often when reality sets in. Many people realise they now:
- Own different assets than they did before
- Have a different level of income or super
- Need to make new decisions about housing, insurance, or education costs
- Want a fresh start — but don’t know what’s realistic
That’s where our fixed-fee post-divorce financial plan comes in.
This isn’t a product pitch or a commission-based arrangement. It’s a structured, personalised financial roadmap covering everything you need to feel back in control:
- Budgeting & cash flow
- Superannuation review
- Investment strategy
- Risk protection
- Future goals like retirement or children’s education
Why We Charge Flat Fees — and Why That Matters
At Partners in Planning, we believe in transparency. You’ve likely had enough surprises during your separation — your financial advice shouldn’t be another one.
Our fixed pricing model means:
- No percentage fees on your investments
- No product commissions
- No ongoing surprises
Just one clear fee, and a financial plan built around you — not your assets.
