Family law (property settlement)

A property settlement can deal with all types of property, debts, and certain financial resources. If you have separated from your partner, you may need to negotiate a property settlement and maintenance. You can do this at the same time. If it is safe, you and your ex-partner should try to reach an agreement about how to divide your property. If you can’t reach an agreement, you may be able to apply for court orders.

A property settlement can cover all types of property, including:

  • real property, such as houses and land
  • businesses, companies or trustsvehicles, such as cars, motorbikes, caravans and boats
  • superannuation, shares and other financial products
  • pets
  • furniture and household items
  • jewellery and other personal belongings
  • cash.

If you and your ex-partner can’t decide how to divide your property, we can assist you to apply to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
