Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about financial matters, property settlements and family law financial arrangements.
How are assets divided after separation?
Assets are not always divided equally. The division depends on factors such as each person’s financial and non-financial contributions, future needs, income, care of children and the overall fairness of the outcome.
What property is included in a family law settlement?
A property settlement may include the family home, investment properties, savings, businesses, superannuation, vehicles, shares, debts and other financial resources held by either party.
Do I need to go to court for a property settlement?
Not always. Many financial matters can be resolved through negotiation, mediation or consent orders. Court may be necessary if an agreement cannot be reached or if urgent financial protection is required.
What is spousal maintenance?
Spousal maintenance is financial support paid by one former partner to the other when one person cannot adequately support themselves and the other has the capacity to pay. It is assessed based on financial need and ability to contribute.
What is a binding financial agreement?
A binding financial agreement is a legal document that sets out how property, finances or maintenance will be dealt with if a relationship ends. It can be made before, during or after a marriage or de facto relationship.
