Family Law

Property Settlements

Property settlements are essential to finalise now and for the future your financial relationship with your ex- partner/spouse.

The property settlement document is a legally binding document and is designed to give you certainty and finality as to the division of the relationship/marriage asset pool.

Our experience indicates that the majority of separated parties are able to agree, with the assistance of their legal adviser(s), upon an appropriate property division and thereby avoiding the stress, delay and costs of Court proceedings. In the event of agreement between the parties David can prepare the necessary Application for Consent Orders which will be executed by the parties to finalise the respective obligations and entitlements.

In those rare matters where agreement cannot be reached or where negotiations have irretrievably broken down in respect of the division of the asset pool in a Family Law property settlement the last resort would be to seek the intervention and assistance of the Family Court of Australia.

David would attend the Family Court through the court appointed mediation process and would during the course of the Court’s intervention endeavor to compromise a settlement of the matters in dispute on your behalf without the need for timely, protracted, stressful and costly judicial intervention and Court hearings.
