The basis on which both married and de facto couples can finalise their property settlement is detailed in the Family Law Act 1975.
If it is appropriate to make an adjustment of your property, the Court will consider the following:
PROPERTY
SETTLEMENTS
SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE
Knowing your rights
The Family Law Act provides for defacto and married couples who need financial maintenance after separation.
However, as far as practicable the Court should make Orders that end the financial relationship between the parties and avoid any further proceedings.
MEDIATION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
At Phelan Family Law, we try to keep our clients out of the Court process. There is a better way to separate, and mediation and family dispute resolution is an important aspect of this.
