    What is Property Settlement

    Property settlement under family law involves the legal process of dividing assets, liabilities, and financial resources between individuals after the end of a marriage or de facto relationship.

    This division is not automatically a 50/50 split but considers various factors, including each party’s contributions (financial, homemaking, or parenting), future needs (health, earning capacity, and overall financial circumstances), and the necessity for a fair and equitable outcome.

    Family law property settlements can be privately agreed upon between parties or mediated by legal representatives. However, they often require court approval to ensure the division is just and complies with legal standards, thereby finalising the separation aspect of these relationships.

    How Long After Separation Can You Claim Property Australia

    In Australia, strict time limits govern property settlement claims following separation. 

    For married couples, applications for property settlement must be lodged within 12 months of the divorce order becoming final. 

    De facto couples have a two-year window from the date of separation to initiate property settlement proceedings.

    Julianne helped my partner with a criminal matter at the last minute, without any hesitation. Her clear advice was invaluable during a time when we felt lost and unsure of what to do. Even after the case was resolved, she took the time to check in on us, which meant so much. If you’re looking for a lawyer who not only gets the job done but also shows genuine care and empathy, I highly recommend Justice Family Lawyers.

    Julianne and Monique from Justice Family Lawyers worked on my case for over two years, and they truly went above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend them more. The entire firm, including Hayder, was incredibly understanding throughout the process, which made a difficult situation easier to handle.
