If you are in a de facto relationship, it is important to know that you have legal rights and entitlements similar to those of married couples. Under the Family Law Act 1975, parties in a de facto relationship have the same rights as married couples when it comes to the distribution of property.
This means that if you and your partner separate, you have the right to seek a de facto property settlement, just as a married couple would seek a property settlement. The process of de facto property settlement can be overwhelming, and it’s important to seek the help of an experienced family lawyer to ensure that your best interests are taken care of.
Our goal is to ensure that you receive a fair and equitable property settlement that reflects your contribution to the relationship. Whether you need assistance with identifying and valuing assets, negotiating a settlement, or representing you in court, we are here to provide you with the support and guidance you need.
