De Facto Relationships

De facto relationships are recognised under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), and Awkar & Co can advise you on your rights, entitlements and obligations regarding property settlement, spousal maintenance, superannuation splitting and any children's matters that arise following the breakdown of the relationship

There are many misconceptions surrounding property settlement for de facto couples, which is why it is important to obtain independent legal advice tailored to your individual circumstances.

Awkar & Co can assist in resolving property and children's matters through negotiation or, where necessary, by filing an application with the Court to obtain final and legally binding Orders.

Time limits also apply to property settlement in de facto relationships, and Linda will ensure you are fully informed of these requirements and guide you through the process.
