Family Law Expertise and Advice
about Property Settlement
The Family Law Act establishes the legal principles by which property discrepancies are worked out, ensuing in the separation of a couple. Judges have made countless decisions over the years, which enable lawyers to advise their clients on what to expect.
FCL Lawyers can support you in determining your privilege by setting up the collective assets from the matrimony and formulating a private balance sheet of assets and liabilities. A separate list for superannuation is mandatory, and it does not concern the owner of an asset or its debt.
We also assess past involvements in both financial and non-financial contributions. For e.g., in a household where the husband is the main provider and the wife is the primary parent and homemaker, those commitments will typically be considered equal.
We also make any required alterations based on future needs and responsibilities after recognising whether there are any particular contribution elements. Generally, the reasons for which alterations will be made are under Section 75(20 of the Family Law Act: –
- The continuing care of children,
- Other financial incomes, such as family trusts,
- Age, health, and earning amount are often associated
Likewise, we study the consequence to see whether it is “just and equitable”. In most cases must be governed on a case-by-case basis. Property settlement also applies to a de facto relationship if the couples have been together for two years or have a child.

Property settlements in Australia and overseas
Distributing the assets can be more difficult when a couple maintains property in more than one country. The result varies depending on if you’re a married or de facto couple. Verifying which country’s laws are relevant to your relationship is also to be considered.
Considering your possibilities is an essential first step – and our experience in international property settlements shows that we can quickly provide you with efficient and uncomplicated advice. Our associations with other overseas law firms and our alliances with the International Academy of Family Lawyers indicate that we’re in a good position to find a solution for your unique situation.
