Property Division

When a relationship ends, dividing property can be one of the most complex and emotionally charged aspects of separation. Property division involves identifying and valuing all assets, liabilities, and financial resources shared between parties, including real estate, savings, superannuation, vehicles, and debts. The goal is to achieve a fair and equitable outcome — not necessarily an equal split — based on each person’s contributions and future needs.

​

Australian family law takes a holistic approach to property division. The Court considers both financial and non-financial contributions made during the relationship, such as income, homemaking, or caring for children. It also evaluates each party’s ongoing circumstances, including earning capacity, age, health, and care of children. This ensures that the settlement reflects not only what was contributed but also what each person requires moving forward.
