PROPERTY & FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT
After separation, most couples need to divide their net assets. This process can feel daunting, especially when emotions are high. We provide clear advice on what the Family Law Act considers when determining an equitable division of the net assets, and we negotiate firmly to secure your best outcome.
If you’re considering “walking away” to avoid conflict, we’ll explain the long‑term financial consequences and ensure any agreement reached reflects your legal entitlements.
Whether you already have a proposal or are starting from scratch, we guide you step‑by‑step to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.
FINANCIAL & PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
Financial agreements (including prenuptial agreements) can provide clarity and protection for couples entering a relationship later in life, blended families, or those parties bringing significant assets into a partnership.
These agreements have important advantages, limitations and impact upon your rights under the Family Law Act. We explain both, ensuring you understand how they interact with your rights under the Family Law Act. Whatever your reasons for considering a financial agreement, we ensure you’re fully informed and able to make the decision that best supports your circumstances.
SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE
In some circumstances, Spousal Maintenance is appropriate in addition to Child Support or may be considered on a standalone basis.
This often occurs in situations where one partner is unable to support themselves adequately after separation and the other party has the financial capacity to pay the person in financial need. We can explain how Spousal Maintenance works and negotiate a fair outcome for you.
