Dividing Property after Separation

​​

When couples separate from either a marriage or de facto relationship, they will generally need to organise and divide their property and debts.​

​

A property settlement can deal with all types of property, debts and types of financial resources.

 

Property can include bank accounts, shares, investments, superannuation, value of a business and interests in a company or trust.​

​

A Court aims to reach a just and equitable outcome utilising a percentage division. 

For this the Court takes into account various factors, including:

​

1. financial contributions made by each of the parties;​

2. non financial contributions;

3. future needs of the parties;

4. care and welfare of children (if any).
