There are two ways in which your property settlement can be formalised (outside of litigation):

Understanding Property Settlement in Family Law

When a relationship ends, navigating the complexities of property settlement can be one of the most challenging aspects. At Village Family Lawyers, we understand that each situation is unique and that the division of assets can be emotionally and financially taxing. Our goal is to provide you with the clarity, support, and expert legal advice you need to secure a fair and equitable outcome.

What is Property Settlement?

Property settlement refers to the legal process of dividing assets, liabilities, and superannuation following the breakdown of a relationship. This process is crucial in ensuring that both parties walk away with a fair share of the property acquired during the relationship. The law surrounding property settlement is multifaceted, and each case is assessed on its own merits, taking into account various factors such as the length of the relationship, the financial and non-financial contributions of each party, and the future needs of both parties.

How We Can Help with Your Property Settlement

At Village Family Lawyers, we are committed to helping you navigate the property settlement process with confidence and peace of mind. Our experienced team will work closely with you to understand your unique situation and provide personalised advice that aligns with your goals.

Consent Orders

Consent Orders are a practical solution for couples who have reached an amicable agreement regarding the division of their property. This method allows you to formalise your agreement without the need for court proceedings. Once approved by the court, Consent Orders are legally binding and enforceable, providing you with the security of a formal settlement without the stress and expense of litigation.

Binding Financial Agreement

A Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) is another avenue for formalising a property settlement. This option is particularly useful in situations where parties wish to avoid court intervention or when they require a tailored approach to suit their specific circumstances. A BFA can cover various family law scenarios, including property division and spousal maintenance, and offers a flexible alternative to Consent Orders.
