Family law matters often come with strict time limits. For example, property settlements after divorce must typically be initiated within 12 months of the divorce being finalised. In de facto relationships, this period is two years from separation. Seeking legal advice as early as possible ensures that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of a successful outcome.
The court prioritises the best interests of the child when determining custody arrangements. Factors include the child’s relationship with each parent, the ability of each parent to provide for the child’s needs, and the child’s views (if they are mature enough to express them).
Property is divided based on the assets, debts, and financial contributions of both parties, as well as their future needs. This can include property, superannuation, and other assets acquired during the relationship.
You may be entitled to spousal maintenance if you cannot support yourself adequately after separation or divorce. The court will assess factors like income, age, and the financial standing of both parties.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and whether it can be resolved through negotiation or if it requires court proceedings. Mediation typically resolves matters faster, while court cases can take several months to over a year.
