SEPARATION AND DIVORCE

Divorce is the process by which you apply to legally end your marriage. An application for divorce does not cover aspects such as property settlement, parenting matters and spousal maintenance. These are separate matters that can be dealt with as soon as you separate.

Deciding to separate or get divorce is no small decision. It can have major impacts on you emotionally and financially both now, and in the future. If you are separated, considering separation or wanting to apply for a divorce then we can help you. We provide fixed fees and getting help with a simple divorce application can be relatively inexpensive.

PROPERTY MATTERS

We can all agree that no two relationships are the same. When it comes to splitting your assets and property things are just as unique. Everyone's situation is different. Which is why there isn't a clear, definite answer on who gets what in a property settlement. 

It isn't just a case of splitting things 50/50. Assets & property must be valued and pooled together, contributions assessed and future needs considered, all before a fair division can be made.

The property settlement process and the laws surrounding this process can be complex. It is important that if you are doing a property settlement that you get legal advice. This is to ensure you understand your rights and responsibilities so you don't sell yourself short.

SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE

In some circumstances you or your former spouse may be entitled to claim spousal maintenance. This is where one person pays the other person a lump sum or ongoing weekly payments as a way of maintaining their lifestyle.

The right to spousal maintenance does not apply to everyone. If you are wishing to apply for spousal maintenance or you are worried about your former spouse claiming spousal maintenance then book a free Q&A session. One of our qualified family lawyers will be able to give you some free advice on your situation.

PARENTING MATTERS

For most parents their children are their number one priority. So, it's no surprise that when you and your spouse separate a key concern is 'what will happen to my children?'.

If you are dealing with a parenting matter where you may be considering a parenting plan, consent orders, applying to the court or any other legal parenting arrangement it's best to get some legal advice. Even if it is just to better understand the legal requirements involved in parenting matters.

Don't waste time scrolling through google for answers. Don't loose sleep trying to understand the Family Law Act and every minor detail that's involved in the process. Instead, book a free Q&A session with one of our qualified family lawyers. We'll be able to clear up any questions you have and help you understand your rights and responsibilities when dealing with a parenting matter.

SAME SEX RELATIONSHIPS

In 2017 the marriage act was amended to "the union of two people to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life". With this change same sex couples were able to marry and therefore divorce.

Same sex couples have the same right to a property settlement, parenting arrangement, child support, spousal maintenance etc as a heterosexual couple. 

Even if you aren't married you can still be entitled to the above as a de facto couple.

DE FACTO RELATIONSHIPS

In today's day and age a lot more people are deciding not to get married. But, just because you aren't married doesn't mean you aren't entitled to a property settlement or a parenting arrangement.

If you were considered to be in a de facto relationship then you may be able to have a property settlement, parenting arrangement, spousal maintenance etc. just the same as a married couple. However, as a de facto there are different rules and requirements that apply.Making it a bit more complex than if you were married.

If you were in a de facto relationship and you wish to pursue a property settlement, parenting arrangement, spousal maintenance or any other matter than it is important you get some legal advice, even if it's just to get you started. This will help you understand your rights and responsibilities as well as strict time limits that apply to de factos.
