The Divorce Course Podcast · When & How Can You Make a Settlement Offer in Divorce for Parenting or Property - Step by Step · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

They don't need to have a lawyer write the offer, but be careful when you make an offer because what are you going to do if you do it in writing and the other side accepts? voice-verified

Because although you can't show offers in court proceedings at all, you can use offers at the very end when you're asking for the other person maybe to pay your legal costs. voice-verified

And basically, it's on the basis that, Your Honour, we wouldn't be here today if they had accepted my offer way back when. voice-verified

You need to be able to prove you made the offer in terms of going to court if you're trying to get costs. voice-verified

And so there's no consequences if you just spitballing, I guess, saying this, saying that. voice-verified

That's right. voice-verified

It's not. voice-verified

And it's often said to extricate yourself or get yourself out of a tricky situation. voice-verified

And so you make these kind of verbal agreements, but there's not really much offer there. voice-verified

They need to be in writing if you're going to have any benefits. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

So when you make an offer, the reason you make the offer is it's probably a pretty good deal for the other side and about as bad a deal as you probably could expect in court. voice-verified

And so to do that, voice-verified

To assess whether the offer is going to be something that they can live with and you can live with, you need to have the information about the property pool for a start. voice-verified

So you need to know what your property is. voice-verified

Okay, if you know your property pool and how much of it is superannuation and how much of it's non-superannuation, then you need to consider going forward what your future needs will be and your current and future circumstances. voice-verified

So you might have one person who's making a lot of money and can easily get a new home and then the other person voice-verified

doesn't have enough money to get a new home at this stage. voice-verified

So the offer needs to probably, from that person's point of view, give them more of the liquid assets than super. voice-verified

And things like that, you just have to have a rough idea of what your future is going to look like. voice-verified
