Separation entails dividing assets and finances, a complex task that requires expert legal advice. The process includes several steps, such as determining whether it's equitable to adjust property, identifying the property pool, assessing each party's contributions, and evaluating each party's future needs. Following an agreement, the settlement can be formalised via Consent Orders or a Binding Financial Agreement. Certain time limits apply to court proceedings for property settlements, necessitating immediate action post-separation. Contact us for a consultation if you are going through separation or divorce.
The Family Law Act 1975 defines a de facto relationship based on specific criteria, inclusive of both same-sex and different-sex couples. Initiating de facto property settlement Court proceedings requires meeting one of several qualifications. This complex area requires experienced legal assistance, which our team at Peter J Griffin & Co is ready to provide.
An Application for Divorce can be made 12 months post-separation, following Australia's "no fault" system of divorce. If you continue living with your spouse post-separation, you'll need to provide a formal affidavit proving that you live separately under the same roof. Depending on your situation, you may or may not be required to attend court for a divorce hearing. A divorce lawyer can guide you through this process.
Contact us our Family Law team to book a consultation if you need expert advice on any family law matter. We provide sensitive, compassionate, and professional advice for your Family Law or Divorce Law matter.
If you are in a de facto relationship or marriage and your relationship has come to an end, then you will have to decide how to finalise your financial arrangements. Our experienced legal team in Applecross understands the challenges you may be facing during this period, and we are able to provide legal advice to help you reach a satisfactory conclusion.
