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

You just have to consider it in the light of how much are you going to pay for legal fees and the court is making in the family court. voice-verified

The court makes lawyers tell their clients and the other side and the court at every stage what their costs are to date, what they anticipate the costs are to the next date and how much of it goes to trial. voice-verified

So you've got those numbers. voice-verified

So then you can work out, okay, I might get another $100,000. voice-verified

But it's going to cost me $50,000 to get it. voice-verified

So why don't I make an offer to the other side for $50,000 extra instead of $100,000 extra? voice-verified

Yes, it is. voice-verified

And the court voice-verified

gets you to sign or lodge a document called a genuine steps document that says have you tried really hard to sort this out and of course the court is looking that there are times when you have to make compulsory office the court makes you to make an offer so it's not about them it's about you you doing the right thing at every stage and then let them be themselves voice-verified

Well, all right, instead of $100,000, how about $80,000? voice-verified

oh no, I'm going to give you $90,000, that sort of thing. voice-verified

But your application to the court might ask for $120,000. voice-verified
