If you’re thinking about dividing your property, you must be eligible to apply for a property
settlement. You’re eligible if you are or were married, have separated, and you apply within 12 months of your Divorce Order.
If you’re unsure whether you meet these requirements, contact us for a referral to
a private lawyer. Getting a property settlement can be as simple as discussing things with
your former partner and agreeing on how your property should be split, including any debts.
We recommend that if you’re able to agree privately,
you should ask a Court to formalise the agreement with Consent Orders.
Often, however, property settlement negotiations are more complicated than a simple discussion which leads to an agreement.
You may disagree about the division of some, or all, of your property.
Perhaps you struggle to understand how some of your decisions
will affect you in the future. In other words, it can be challenging to know whether any agreement is in your long-term best interests.
