What is Family Law?
In Australia, the family law system is a legal practice area that relates to family relationships.
It helps people going through a relationship breakdown of couples who marry, live together as de facto partners or have children together.
Family Law can apply at any time in the relationship – before, during and after the relationship.
What about a Divorce?
People often confuse divorce with property settlement. Once people have decided that they will not be able to work through their difference and reconcile, one of the steps they need to take is to file an application for a divorce.
The divorce process is a separate process to dividing your assets through a property settlement, although the two are linked in some circumstances because of important timeframes and limitation dates that apply.
SJP Law can help you to determine if you need a divorce or a property settlement or both.
What about Property Settlements?
One of the most difficult and confronting parts of the family law process is finalising your property settlement. The property settlement process deals with issues concerning the financial arrangements between a couple before, during, and after a relationship.
It also deals with financial support known as spousal maintenance. Property settlement works through the division of separating couple’s assets.
It is not always easy or comfortable to do, and many people are reluctant to start the process because they do not understand how it works or are worried about time frames and costs.
At SJP law we can assist you to understand how the property settlement will work and the time frames and costs around that.
