On family matters: what the AI does, what a lawyer does.

What the AI does

Asks the right next question
Pulls together a clean summary of your matter
Drafts the first version of documents from our internal wiki
Checks for the obvious things that trip up a court application
Saves your lawyer the hours that used to come out of your bill

What a lawyer does

Angelo Rechichi and Johanna Riggio
Reviews every matter before anything is signed or filed
Gives you legal advice
Tells you when the AI got something wrong — and fixes it
Signs the certificate of independent advice
Communicates with the court, the bank, your former partner
Takes professional responsibility for the work

The lawyer is accountable. The AI is the toolbox. On family matters, we never sign or file anything until a real lawyer has read it.

Two doors

Where are you in the journey?

So you don't have to guess which kind of lawyer you need — pick the one that sounds like you.

How it works

Four steps to move forward

Someone telling us what is going on, by chat or on the phone
1

Tell us what's going on

Talk to our AI on this page, or call 1300 967 552. We'll listen, ask the right questions, and tell you what kind of agreement you actually need — usually in under fifteen minutes.

A fixed price shown in writing, before anything is paid
2

Get your fixed price

You'll see the price up front, in writing, before you spend a cent. If a family lawyer reviews your matter and decides we're not the right fit, we refund you. No surprises, no hourly billing.

At your own pace, from your couch. Our platform asks the right questions and gathers everything your lawyer needs — financials, super, the family home, who keeps what. Save and come back as often as you need.

Australia-wide

Wherever you are in Australia, the law is the same — and so are we.

Family law in Australia is federal law. The Family Law Act 1975 applies the same way in every state and territory — so a consent order, BFA or prenup we prepare is valid right across the country.

Our lawyers hold current Australian practising certificates and are lawfully entitled to act for clients nationally.
One uniform set of family-law rules — no need for a lawyer “in your state”.
Mostly online, so distance never changes the price or the outcome.

Currently serving clients in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS & the ACT. Northern Territory coming soon.

The things people worry about

“What if the AI gets it wrong?”

A real Australian family lawyer reviews every matter before anything is filed or signed. The AI helps us draft, summarise and check — it never makes the call alone. If anything's off, the lawyer fixes it.

“What if my partner won't agree?”

We talk through the shape of the agreement up front, so there are no surprises when it goes to your partner. If you need help getting to an agreement first, a 30-minute paid lawyer consult is a good option to run through the BFA approaches. If they push back later, our fixed-fee negotiation service can help — but most matters never need it.

“What if we can't use you?”

If a family lawyer reviews your matter and decides this product isn't right for you, we refund you. In writing, on the site, in our terms.
