What are you entitled to in a divorce or separation?
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.

Understanding De Facto Relationships
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.

Navigating Divorce Proceedings
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.
