Expert Guidance on Property Division Under Australian Family Law
At Verve Legal, we understand that property division following a separation or divorce can be complex and emotionally challenging. Our experienced family law team is here to provide clear legal guidance and support, ensuring a fair and equitable division of assets in line with Australian family law.
Understanding Property Settlement
Under Australian law, property settlement involves dividing assets, liabilities, and financial resources between separating couples, whether married or in a de facto relationship. This process is governed by the Family Law Act 1975, which ensures a just and equitable outcome based on individual circumstances.
How is Property Divided?
Property division does not follow a strict 50/50 rule but is determined by several factors, including:
- Assets & Liabilities – Identifying all assets (real estate, savings, businesses, superannuation) and liabilities (loans, debts) to establish the property pool.
- Contributions – Assessing financial and non-financial contributions made by each party, including income, property acquisition, homemaker contributions and contributions as parents.
- Future Needs – Considering factors such as age, health, income disparity, caregiving responsibilities, and future earning capacity.
- Fair and Equitable Outcome – Ensuring that the final settlement is fair, taking into account the unique circumstances of both parties.
Resolving Property Disputes
At Verve Legal, we encourage amicable resolutions through negotiation, mediation, and collaborative law to avoid costly and stressful court proceedings. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, our skilled legal team will advocate on your behalf in the Family Court or Federal Circuit Court to protect your rights and interests.
