How to Divide Property in a Divorce
Engage a Property Settlement Lawyer:
Ensure legal guidance by hiring a knowledgeable lawyer to protect your interests and navigate the complexities of property division.
Disclose Assets and Debts:
Both parties identify and openly disclose all assets, income, and liabilities.
Determine Asset Values:
Accurately assess and agree upon the value of all listed properties and assets.
Assess Contributions and Future Needs:
Evaluate financial and non-financial contributions from each party and consider future needs based on individual circumstances.
Finalise Settlement:
With legal support, reach a settlement and formalise it through court-approved consent orders or a binding financial agreement.

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.
