Spousal Maintenance & Support Lawyers Murdoch
Do you know when spousal support and maintenance is payable in WA and how much? If you are contemplating separation from your spouse or have already done so, you may be entitled to or responsible for spousal maintenance.
You might be receiving an amount that doesn't align with the agreed-upon support or feel you are paying an excessive spousal support rate. Speak with a family lawyer to discuss adjusting your agreement to ensure fairness.
Spousal maintenance is financial support paid by one spouse to the other to maintain the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage. The amount of spousal maintenance payable depends on several factors, including the needs of one spouse and the other's ability to pay. Maintenance is not always obligatory, nor is it always a lifelong commitment.
Our legal team have the expertise and the experience to provide practical advice and assistance.
We can help you negotiate a maintenance agreement with your spouse and ensure timely payments. Contact us today to discuss your situation with a family lawyer.
De Facto Couples & Separation
If you were in a de facto relationship and have now separated, contact our team today. We can help you navigate these challenging times and assist with all legal aspects of the separation. Our team will provide guidance and explain your rights following a relationship breakdown.
The Family Law Act defines a de facto relationship as a couple living together on a genuine domestic basis without marriage. To qualify as a de facto relationship, you must have cohabited for at least two years or have a child together. A de facto relationship can involve couples of the same or opposite sex and does not require registration with the state or territory.
Under Australian law, de facto relationships are treated similarly to marriages, granting couples who separate after cohabitation in a de facto relationship the same property rights as married couples. This includes the ability to seek a property settlement from the Family Court.
De facto couples also have the same maintenance rights as married couples, allowing them to seek financial support from their former partner if they cannot support themselves financially.
If you are in a de facto relationship and thinking of separation, contact us to discuss your legal rights and options. We can assist you in negotiating a property settlement, applying for maintenance, and providing guidance on your parental responsibility rights.
Filing for a Divorce?
For many, divorce is a challenging process. Besides coping with the emotional strain of a relationship breakdown, dealing with legal and financial paperwork becomes overwhelming.

If you are considering divorce and need more information, we are here to help. We understand that every case is unique, and we will listen to your situation and provide advice accordingly.
