Family law property settlement Brisbane
You can go for a property settlement at any time during your separation period. In case you are applying as a married couple, the court will consider twelve months after the divorce, before ruling out your application.
In case you want to apply for property settlement after ending your de facto relationship, you must apply for it in court within two years of ending your relationship.
The final decision of the division of the property will be made by the court of law. Fit Lawyers can help you contest your side strongly and list out your points in front of the court.

What the Court Needs to Know:

  • All the assets and liabilities that you and your partner have or had during the time of separation
  • The current values of all the assets and liabilities, including superannuation
  • The division of property, financial and non-financial matters that can happen in your favour

The court will also consider the following points before making the final decisions:

  • You and your partner’s future obligations
  • The financial situation of both individuals
  • The cost required for the wellbeing of children of both parties
A lawyer needs to pay attention to detail and have in-depth understanding of the law when they draft an agreement document according to the regulation in family law for property settlement. Our property settlement lawyers in Brisbane have extensive experience on the subject. They will assist you with drafting the agreement, negotiating with the other party’s lawyer, and implementing the terms of the agreement once both parties have agreed to the terms.

FAQs

Ans. Yes. You are eligible to contest for property settlement even when all the property is in your former partner’s name. When you apply for property settlement, all assets will be considered irrespective of their ownership. The properties owned by trusts, companies, and partnerships or other cooperating entities and are relevant to both of you will also be considered for settlement.
Ans. In case you have a joint property, all the parties shall agree to sell the property before proceeding to sell it. Both of you can discuss the other options that can be considered for the joint property. In case of a dispute, the court will give the final order for determining whether selling the property is essential or not.
Ans. In case you hold the property jointly with your partner and their name is present on the mortgage of the property, then your partner will be legally liable to pay the mortgage. This is valid even if no one is living in the property. However, once your partner’s name is removed from the mortgage, they will no longer be liable to pay. This can happen when there’s a mutual consent of both during the settlement of the property.
Fit Lawyers can help you in reaching a mutual agreement on financial contribution until the time a final agreement is made. We can help you contest the decision in court if your spouse completely refuses to pay their share.
Ans. Definitely! When you assess the contribution, each of the financial, non-financial, and family welfare contributions will be counted. These include the efforts to conserve and maintain the property including the pool, contribution in the homemaker field, and parental contribution. Each of the efforts made may not be individually considered, but it will be weighed in total.

Ans. If there is a mutual agreement on sharing some property after separation, then you may have the right to the property. However, if the property has been given to your spouse by the court orders, you shall not be liable to hold any share.

The situation can be different in case you share custody of your children. However, any contribution after settlement will be considered as the individual contribution of the party.

Testimonials

★★★★★ 5/5
As a growing business, we knew it was time to seek a legal partner to assist with contracts. Ji has been fantastic to work with, producing thorough results in a timely manner. He has taken templates we'd previously sourced along with notes on our requirements and delivered what can only be described as legal wizardry. I can now focus on my business with peace of mind knowing I have solid contracts to fall back on should I ever need to. Thank you Fit Lawyers.
