The division of assets and financial resources can be one of the most stressful aspects of a separation or divorce. We help you understand the importance of a fair and equitable settlement that secures your financial future while respecting the contributions made by both parties during the relationship. Our award-winning expertise guides you through the intricacies of property and financial settlements, ensuring your rights are protected and your peace of mind is restored.

Understanding property and financial settlements

Property and Financial Settlements involve the distribution of assets, liabilities, superannuation, and financial resources between parties following a separation or divorce. Our approach is tailored to achieve a settlement that reflects your contributions, needs, and future requirements.

Key steps in the settlement process

  • Identification of assets and liabilities: a comprehensive assessment of all assets and liabilities held both jointly and individually by the parties.
  • Valuation of the property pool: accurate valuation of all assets, including real estate, businesses, investments, and superannuation.
  • Assessment of contributions: consideration of financial, non-financial, and parenting contributions made by each party during the relationship.
  • Future needs analysis: evaluation of each party's future needs, taking into account factors such as age, health, financial resources, and care of children.
  • Negotiation and agreement: wherever possible, we seek to negotiate a settlement outside of court, minimising stress and legal costs. This can be formalised through consent orders or a binding financial agreement.
