Have you separated from your partner?

When any marriage or de facto relationship ends the respective interests of each of the parties need to be formally settled between them. Divorce and property settlements are two very different things in Australia. You do not need to be separated for a certain period of time to organise a property settlement. However, even when there is no dispute about who should get what, it is advisable to legally formalise the settlement of your property interests when you part company. The reason for this is that the Family Law Act itself does not recognise informal property arrangements.

By law, a mutual agreement does not determine your respective property rights. It’s vitally important that the agreement is formalised. The best way to do that is by way of a formal order of the Family Court or a Binding Financial Agreement. Provided the required documents are comprehensively prepared and deal with all of the respective matters, they’ll finally settle and dispose of all mutual financial interests between the parties and ensure there’s no lingering potential for either party to make a claim in the future.
