Most of us use social media in our daily lives to keep in touch and communicate with our family and friends without a second thought. Exercising caution when posting on social media is a must if you are either going through or contemplating initiating Family Law proceedings.
Divorce is the legal process of ending a marriage. It is an important legal process, which can be emotionally challenging.
In Australia, you no longer need to provide a reason for divorce.
Even if the house is in your partner’s sole name, legally you are not required to vacate the property upon separation. There may be good reasons not to leave the home, and sometimes separating couples will agree to remain residing under the same roof.
Australian courts recognise that a couple can be separated but live under the same roof. If it is safe and appropriate (such as where there are no Family Violence concerns), separating couples may successfully negotiate to continue living under the same roof whilst maintaining separate lives.
The division of superannuation is an important part of Matrimonial Property Settlement, De Facto Property Settlements and settlements between same sex partners.
Our Family Lawyers are acutely aware of the consequences – personal and financial – that marriage breakdown and separation can cause. Our advice is provided in an understanding and compassionate manner, and we provide you with all your options to achieve the best workable outcome as quickly as possible.
