Our Method

  • Identify and value all assets and liabilities
  • Recognise both financial and non-financial contributions
  • Account for ongoing needs such as income, childcare, or health
  • Test outcomes for fairness before finalisation

Securing Agreements

We recommend documenting settlements through consent orders or a binding financial agreement to give both parties legal certainty and prevent future disputes. Our lawyers also coordinate with financial advisors and accountants to manage tax or transfer implications.

Frequently Ask Question

If parties cannot reach agreement, an application may be made to the court to determine the division through litigation.

Yes — to ensure enforceability. Consent orders formalise the agreement in court. Binding financial agreements can also be used to finalise the division and avoid future disputes.

There are time limits: after divorce or de facto separation, you generally have 12 months to apply to court for property settlement unless an agreement is already in place.

Contributions include financial contributions (income, investments), non-financial contributions (homemaking, caring for children), and contributions during the relationship and to its breakdown.

After assessing contributions and future needs, the division must result in a fair outcome. That does not always mean a 50/50 split, but a division that is reasonable and fair in the circumstances.
