💬 Let’s talk about what really happens when couples separate.
It’s not always just about who gets the house or the car what about the credit cards, loans, and tax debts? Who’s actually responsible for paying them?

In this episode, Harpreet Bawa, one of Sydney’s leading family lawyers from Justice Family Law Network, breaks down how property settlements and debts are handled under Australia’s Family Law Act.

We cover:
💡 How assets and liabilities are divided
💡 What’s included in the “property pool”
💡 How the May 2025 amendments to the Act have clarified shared debts and financial responsibilities after separation

Harpreet also clears up a common misconception that you’re safe from your partner’s debts just because the credit card isn’t in your name (spoiler: not always true!).

🎧 Watch the full episode to learn how to navigate property settlements, understand your legal rights, and make informed financial decisions after separation.
