How is property divided in a divorce or separation?
In a divorce or separation, property is divided based on a thorough assessment of both parties’ financial and non-financial contributions. This includes all assets and liabilities accrued before and during the relationship. The aim is to reach a fair and equitable distribution that considers each party’s circumstances and contributions.
Yes, many property settlements are resolved amicably without court intervention. Couples can agree on the division of assets through negotiations, often facilitated by their lawyers. Once an agreement is reached, it can be formalised through consent orders, which are legally binding and enforceable.
After a divorce is finalised, there is a 12-month period within which to initiate property settlement proceedings. It’s important to adhere to this timeframe to ensure your rights to a fair settlement are protected. The process may vary in duration based on the complexity of the assets involved and the level of agreement between the parties.
