If your relationship is relatively amicable, and both parties are willing to communicate on-line, you may be able to negotiate directly with your former partner through the new amica tool at
www.amica.gov.au. The website helps separated couples to make parenting and financial arrangements, and provides a pathway to a range of legal education and information options about family law issues, including your rights, responsibilities and options.
In financial cases, amica uses artificial intelligence technology to suggest the split of assets, taking into account the couple's particular circumstances, the kinds of agreements reached by couples in similar situations and how courts generally handle disputes of the same nature. It can also assist parents to develop a parenting plan for their children.
People can now use the single-sided version to see how amica works, obtain some information about their rights and get an estimate of what their property settlement may look like, without involving their former partner.
The suggested division range in amicaone is an estimate only. Once the user has created an account and invited their former partner, they will receive a more accurate suggestion based on information provided by and agreed to by both parties.
