Financial Splits

Property settlement following separation is one of the most complex aspects of family law. We help you identify, value, and fairly divide all assets and liabilities, including real estate, superannuation, investments, businesses, and personal property.

The Family Law Act provides a four-step process for determining property settlements: identifying the asset pool, assessing each party's financial and non-financial contributions, considering future needs, and determining what is just and equitable in the circumstances.

We guide you through the process of valuing assets, including obtaining valuations for real estate, businesses, and superannuation interests. Where necessary, we engage forensic accountants and other experts to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the financial landscape.

Property settlements can be formalised through consent orders or a binding financial agreement. We ensure your agreement is legally sound and protects your interests for the future, while also advising on the tax implications of different settlement structures.
