Prepare

If available, keep the latest draft, earlier versions, related court orders and a note of the practical commitments proposed.

Step 1

For each term, note who would do what, by when, and which parts you do not understand.

Step 2

Ask about obligations, consequences, unresolved issues, the effect on any case and what should happen before signing.

Step 3

Discuss these notes with an advocate of your choice, or open NALSA’s legal-aid information to ask about professional assistance. The service determines eligibility and representation.

What to check

You have a clause-by-clause question list for independent professional advice.

If you need help

If versions differ or pressure prevents understanding, identify the concern and ask for clarification before agreeing.
