De Facto Relationships

De Facto relationships are now covered under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) and Awkar & Co can provide advice on your rights, entitlements and obligations with regards to property settlement, spousal maintenance, superannuation splitting and children's issues that may arise from the breakdown of the relationship. 

There are many misconceptions with respect to property settlement for de facto relationships, which is why it is best to obtain independant legal advice that is tailored to your circumstances.

Awkar & Co is able to assist in the finalisation of property settlement and children's issues by way of negotiation or bringing an application to the Court to obtain Court Orders which are final and legally binding. 

Time limits also apply to the property settlement for de facto relationships and Linda will be able to advice you of those constraints.
