Frequently Asked Questions
How is property divided in a divorce?
Property division in Australia follows a four-step process: identifying the asset pool, assessing contributions (financial and non-financial), considering future needs, and ensuring the division is just and equitable.
Is it always a 50/50 split?
No, there's no automatic 50/50 split. The division depends on many factors including the length of the relationship, each party's contributions, future earning capacity, and care of children.
What about debts?
Debts are included in the property pool and divided along with assets. This includes mortgages, personal loans, credit cards, and other liabilities accumulated during the relationship.
How long do I have to settle property matters?
For married couples, you have 12 months from the date of divorce to apply to court. For de facto relationships, it's 2 years from separation. We recommend settling sooner to provide certainty.
