Amicable separation · South Africa
A better way to navigate an amicable separation.
Organise your information, work through settlement options together, and arrive at an agreement that's ready for a lawyer to review.
Disclose clearly
Each of you lists assets and liabilities privately, then shares.
Agree thoughtfully
Propose, counter and accept item by item, with a cooling-off period.
Document properly
Every proposal and acceptance is recorded in an audit trail.
Review & finalise
Hand a structured settlement to a lawyer for review.
Everything you need to separate fairly
One private place for both of you, from first disclosure to the divorce order.
Private screening
Consent, safety and complexity questions only you can see.
Item by item
Disclose, then propose, counter and agree who keeps what.
Bonds and loans
Loans are linked to the assets they're secured against, so equity is clear.
Parenting plan
Where the children live, holidays, schedules and costs.
Pet plan
Who keeps the pets, and how you share their time and costs.
Maintenance planner
Each household's month under different maintenance amounts.
Cooling-off
Big decisions wait 48 hours, so nobody is rushed.
Lawyer-ready agreement
A draft settlement and parenting plan for a lawyer to review.
After-divorce checklist
Beneficiaries, accounts and transfers: nothing forgotten.
More for you, less for the lawyers
Agree and resolve together, and you share one lawyer and keep more to divide. Start fighting, and the legal fees eat into what's left, paid by one of you or both.
Simple pricing
One fee per divorce, paid once by either of you when you ask for a lawyer review.

Questions
What is Agreeably?
An online platform for couples in South Africa who want to separate amicably. You each disclose your assets and debts, agree who keeps what item by item, plan parenting, pets and maintenance, and end up with a draft settlement agreement for a lawyer to review.
Is Agreeably a law firm?
No. Agreeably is a settlement facilitator, not a law firm or an arbitrator, and nothing on it is legal advice. A lawyer reviews your agreement before anyone signs.
How does Agreeably save on legal fees?
When you agree together you can share one lawyer for the uncontested divorce. When even one asset is fought over in court, each of you needs your own lawyer, and the fees come out of what's left to divide.
Is my information private?
Your private screening answers are never shown to your spouse, ID and account numbers are encrypted, and you can export or erase your data at any time, as POPIA requires.
Do we both need an account?
Yes. One of you starts the case and invites the other; each spouse uses their own account, so private answers stay private.
How much does it cost?
One fee per divorce, paid by either of you once you ask for a lawyer review, with a small commitment deposit before you start agreeing items that comes off the fee. See the packages on this page.
