Do you have an entitlement to a property settlement?
Property or financial settlements involve the division of assets and liabilities after a separation. A financial relationship exists whether you have been married or in a de facto relationship and this relationship will continue to exist until an order is made by the Family Court.
This is what our property settlement lawyer can help you with. Property includes all your assets and liabilities whether they are in your name only, in joint names, or in the name of a company or a trust. You will have an entitlement to a property settlement if you have been married or in a de facto relationship, however, there is no presumption in law that the property should be split equally between the parties.
For married couples - within 12 months after a divorce. For de facto couples - within 2 years after separation. Do you want to know how property is divided after separation?
