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.

Dispute Resolution
If you and your former spouse cannot reach an agreement on property, parenting or any other matters you can make an application to the Court. The Court will then make a judgement on your case for you.
Before you can make an application to the Court you will need to participate in family dispute resolution. This is where both parties attempt to negotiate with a third, impartial party present. This is done to try to settle the matter out of Court as Court proceedings can become expensive very quickly.
We aid in this process of dispute resolution by preparing you for these negotiations as well as representing you throughout the whole process. Ensuring you don't sell yourself short and allowing us to help you in achieving an outcome you deserve.
