LEGAL QUESTIONS

Will my partner get half of my assets?

As is often the case in law, the answer is, it depends. There are lots of factors that make up a property distribution in the Family Law Court. Non financial contributions by a homemaker are taken into account in certain circumstances. If you want to protect your assets, it is best to engage a barrister early on to ensure that your rights are represented to the fullest.

Can I sell my assets so my ex-partner can't get it?

Purposefully disposing of assets to avoid anticipated Family Law Court proceedings can result in the Court setting aside the transaction. Whether you are looking for the best way to protect your assets or your ex-partner has started advertising assets for sale that should be part of the asset pool for division, it’s important to engage a legal practitioner now to ensure you get the maximum distribution of assets that you are entitled to.

In certain circumstances, an urgent injunction can be sought to prevent your ex-partner dissipating assets.
