Secure Your Future with Experienced Property Settlement Guidance

Navigating property settlements during a separation or divorce can be complex and emotionally taxing. At Gullickson Lawyers, we specialise in providing clear, strategic advice to ensure a fair division of assets, safeguarding your financial well-being.

Understanding Property Settlements

A property settlement involves the legal division of assets and liabilities between parties following the breakdown of a marriage or de facto relationship. This process encompasses all forms of property, including real estate, investments, superannuation, and debts.

Why Timely Action Is Crucial

Acting promptly is essential due to strict time limits imposed by Australian family law:

  • For Married Couples: You must apply for a property settlement within 12 months of your divorce becoming final.

  • For De Facto Relationships: Applications must be made within 2 years from the date of separation.

Missing these deadlines may require court permission to proceed, which is not guaranteed.

Our Comprehensive Approach

At Gullickson Lawyers, we follow a structured approach to achieve equitable property settlements:

  1. Identifying and Valuing Assets: We conduct a thorough assessment of all assets and liabilities to establish a clear property pool.

  2. Assessing Contributions: Evaluating both financial and non-financial contributions made by each party throughout the relationship.

  3. Considering Future Needs: Taking into account factors such as age, health, income, and care of children to determine any adjustments.

  4. Achieving a Just and Equitable Outcome: Ensuring the final agreement is fair and sustainable for your future.
