Family Law

Financial Settlements / Asset Division

Resolving financial matters following your separation can be one of the more difficult areas to agree upon with your ex-spouse or de-facto partner.

There are many different ways in which financial disputes can be resolved and once we have obtained the information we need about your own personal circumstances, we can advise you as to your rights, entitlements and the best legal approach for you.

As well as advising on financial outcomes on divorce and the dissolution of unmarried relationships, we can also address the enforcement of local or foreign financial orders in relation to property, other assets and maintenance, and the powers of the Australian courts to make financial property settlement orders in relation to Australian property after an overseas divorce.

If one or both of you is currently bankrupt or facing bankruptcy, we can also advise you as to your rights and entitlements in this difficult situation too as certain property is exempt from bankruptcy. Therefore, you may have more options than you think.
