| Practice area | [Family Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Compare the agreement the lawyer has drafted against the settled terms and the disclosure the lawyer has verified. List the assets, values, liabilities, superannuation interests and independent-advice certificates still to confirm, and every matter the settled terms do not cover. Check the agreement's form against the requirements for the provision it is made under. The tool drafts and redrafts no clause, and writes no part of the independent-advice statement. |
| What the lawyer must review | Read every clause yourself before the agreement is signed; the tool has written none of it and must not be asked to. The independent-advice statement is a statutory precondition to the agreement binding: it cannot be generated, it must reflect a real advice session with your client about the effect of the agreement on that client's rights and its advantages and disadvantages, and it must be given on the executed text and not on an earlier draft. Confirm the agreement is made under the provision that fits these parties — married, de facto, or under Western Australia's separate regime — and that its form meets that provision's requirements. Verify every asset description, value, liability, trust and company holding and superannuation interest against primary disclosure. Where the agreement splits a superannuation interest, use the current prescribed forms and deal with the trustee as the requirements for that interest require. If the agreement deals with spousal maintenance, confirm the maintenance provision meets the separate requirements that apply to it, which are not the same as those for the property clauses. Satisfy yourself the client understands that once it binds the agreement ousts the court's property jurisdiction and that the grounds to set it aside are narrow. |
