Family law and disputes

What you get, and what it costs

A fixed fee agreed up front, a committed delivery date, and a signed report you can reconstruct years later.

  • Tier 0 — Indicative · Free · Instant
  • Tier 1 — Streamlined · 5 business days · From $3,500
  • Tier 2 — Standard · 7 business days · From $5,000
  • Tier 3 — Complex · 10 business days · From $8,000

Fee

Fixed in writing before the engagement starts. No variations without your written approval.

Date

Signed report within your tier's committed turnaround, 5, 7 or 10 business days, from the date your information pack is complete.

Trail

Every conclusion states its method, inputs, assumptions and range. It can be reconstructed years later.

Sometimes the right answer is the free one.

The ATO's apportionment method is free and assumes your value grew in a straight line. If it did, use it. If your growth was uneven, a market valuation is the safer route.

Before you decide

The ATO method is free and assumes your value grew in a straight line. A market valuation reflects your actual growth. Both are accepted for the 2027 transition; they are not equivalent in outcome.

Not every owner does. If your value grew evenly, the free ATO method is enough. An independent valuation is the better path where growth was uneven — slow then accelerated, or a step-change.

For the 2027 reset, the valuation is expressed as at 30 June 2027. Every signed report records the valuation date, preparation date and information cut-off separately.

Tier 1 is 5 business days, Tier 2 is 7, and Tier 3 is 10 or a scoped date agreed up front. The clock starts when your information pack is complete.

Every compliance-grade report is reviewed and signed by an independent qualified valuer, prepared under IVS and APES 225. The signature is the point of the product.
