What Exactly Is Separation?
Separation occurs when either one or both individuals in a marriage or de facto relationship choose to dissolve their domestic partnership. It involves making a definitive decision, effectively communicating it to one’s partner, and taking concrete steps to implement this decision.
It is worth mentioning that going through the court system is not obligatory for formalising a separation. Nonetheless, seeking legal advice can offer valuable insight and assistance regarding crucial matters including property settlement, child custody, child support, and parenting arrangements throughout this period.
How Is Separation Different From Divorce?
Because these two terms are often mixed up, it is crucial to fully grasp the differences between them. A differentiation emerges when a married couple chooses to live separately without initiating any legal procedures to dissolve their marriage.
Despite these differences, both separation and divorce can be complex processes that may require professional help. Family law firms and divorce lawyers can provide valuable guidance throughout these legal proceedings, ensuring the protection of your rights during this challenging time.
Important Considerations in the Event of a Separation
Experiencing a separation can be a challenging and emotional period, particularly when it involves a family. It is crucial to find the right law firm specialising in this family law matter, providing the necessary support and guidance. During a separation, several key factors need to be considered:
Progressing Towards Divorce
Following a separation period of 12 months, you become eligible to apply for a divorce. This application can be initiated either individually or jointly with your spouse. Subsequently, you will have an additional 12 months post-divorce to commence the property settlement process.
De Facto Relationships
Upon the conclusion of a de facto relationship, you have a two-year window to apply for a property settlement or spouse maintenance. If this deadline passes, you may request an extension.
Resolving Property Settlements
In the event of shared property and assets acquired during the course of a relationship, equitable distribution becomes necessary upon separation. Our goal is to negotiate a settlement that prioritises your best interests, and whenever possible, we strive to resolve these matters outside the courtroom.
