One paid product. One free product. Different jobs.
The DIY Consent Orders Pack documents an agreed division and produces filing-ready documents for the Federal Circuit and Family Court — $249 at download. The Property Settlement Modeller walks the Family Law Act framework and produces an on-screen analysis — free. Most users only need one of them.
For separations where you’ve already agreed on the division and want to file consent orders without paying $1,500–3,000 to a solicitor.

For low-to-moderate complexity matters
A 60-second eligibility check at the start of the Pack flow assesses whether your matter is suitable. Hard stops route you to specialist help (family violence, disclosure dispute, BFA preference) before any inputs are captured. Soft warnings on flagged items (significant business interests, SMSF, defined-benefit super, international assets, large tax debts, active litigation, pre-existing BFAs) give you three options: continue with notes baked into the output, switch to the free Modeller, or get advice first. The Pack handles standard property matters cleanly; the upfront check is what keeps it that way.
For separations where you haven’t agreed yet, or where the matter is complex enough that you’ll need a lawyer regardless. Free because charging for it wouldn’t replace the advice you actually need.
What you get
- ✓Asset pool capture with live net-pool calculation — same data shape as the Pack’s Module C, fully shared if you switch products

- ✓s.75(2) future-needs adjustment — age, health, earning capacity, care of children, financial resources, factor by factor
- ✓Modelled outcome range (low / mid / high) — the engine’s view, presented as a range that captures genuine analytical uncertainty
- ✓Framework reasoning — plain-English paragraphs explaining how each factor moves the analysis
- ✓On-screen result page — screenshot-friendly, prints cleanly via your browser’s Print to PDF
- ✓Free PDF download — or have a copy emailed to you (opt-in, address not retained)
- ✓Methodology open-source — the s.79 / s.75(2) calculation logic is on GitHub for audit
For two distinct audiences
Family-law professionals — solicitors, mediators, financial advisors — using the Modeller as a working tool with clients, for scenario demonstrations, or to sense-check a position. Individuals with complex matters — longer relationships, primary-carer parents, super gaps, business interests — preparing to brief a lawyer or mediator. Both audiences see the same output; the framework analysis is what matters.

Common questions
Why is one paid and the other free?
The Pack does the documentation work that has commercial value — a solicitor would charge $1,500–3,000 for the same prep. The Modeller does framework analysis that’s most useful for matters where you’ll need a solicitor regardless; charging for it wouldn’t replace the advice you actually need. The Pack is the business; the Modeller is the contribution.
What does “low-to-moderate complexity” mean for the Pack?
The Pack is designed for matters without family violence, disclosure disputes, or a preference for a Binding Financial Agreement — those route to specialist help. Complex factors like significant business interests, self-managed superannuation, defined-benefit super, international assets, large tax debts, active litigation, or pre-existing BFAs trigger soft warnings during the eligibility check. You can still use the Pack with notes baked into the output, switch to the free Modeller for framework analysis first, or get advice. We assess this at the start, not at the end — before you invest 30–60 minutes of work.
What if I’m not sure which product I need?
The simple test: have you and your ex-partner agreed on the division? If yes, the Pack documents what you agreed. If not, the Modeller walks the framework so you understand what’s likely on the table before you have the conversation. The Pack’s eligibility wizard handles the routing — if you start the Pack and your answers suggest the Modeller’s a better fit, it’ll route you there.
Can I file the Pack’s output directly with the Court?
The Pack’s output is structured to match the FCFCOA’s Application for Consent Orders template. Filing happens via the Commonwealth Courts Portal, by you (or your solicitor), not through us. Independent legal review is recommended — consent orders that are wrong are difficult to fix after filing.
Does the Modeller’s output get filed at court?
No. The Modeller produces analysis, not a court document. It’s a thinking tool: take the result page or the free PDF to your lawyer or mediator, use it to brief them, use it to understand what the framework says about your matter. If you’ve reached agreement and want to file, switch to the Pack — the asset-pool data carries across.
Why is the methodology open-source?
Family-law calculators are full of hidden assumptions. Most products keep their methodology private — a black box that produces a number and asks you to trust it. We disagree with that approach. The Modeller’s s.79 / s.75(2) calculation logic is public on GitHub so professionals can audit it before recommending the tool, and individuals can see how their inputs become the modelled range. The Pack’s document-generation code stays closed (template formatting, FCFCOA-specific layout); only the calculation engine is open-sourced — that’s the part where transparency is the point.
What about my data?
The calculator runs entirely in your browser. The Modeller never sends your inputs anywhere — PDF generation is client-side, the optional email-yourself feature uses your address once and then deletes it. The Pack sends your inputs to our PDF/.docx generator only at the moment you click Download (after the $249 Stripe checkout); the inputs are not retained beyond that session. Your final Pack output is cached server-side under an emailed access token so you can re-download. Full mechanics on the privacy page.
Can I get a refund?
The Pack: 24-hour no-questions full refund, plus 30-day technical-failure refund (if the document didn’t generate, formatting was broken, or the calculator had a bug that affected your matter). The Modeller is free, so there’s nothing to refund. See terms & refunds for the full policy.
