Frequently Asked Questions

What is a family law property settlement?
A family law property settlement refers to the legal process of dividing assets, liabilities, and property after a relationship ends. This includes determining how real estate, superannuation, debts, and other assets are split between the parties. The settlement considers factors like financial contributions, non-financial contributions, and future needs to achieve a fair and equitable outcome for both parties.
Can we settle property matters without going to court?
Yes, most property settlements are resolved without court intervention. Parties can negotiate directly, through lawyers, or with the help of a mediator. Once an agreement is reached, it can be formalised with a binding financial agreement or consent orders filed in court. This approach saves time, reduces costs, and is generally less stressful than litigation.
How does the family law property settlement process work?
The process begins with identifying and valuing all assets, liabilities, and financial resources. Both parties then negotiate how to divide them, often with legal or mediation assistance. If an agreement can’t be reached, the matter may proceed to court, where a judge makes the final decision based on fairness, contributions, and future needs. Legal advice helps ensure a fair and transparent process.
