Free Family Law Information Settlement (Property Settlement)

Going through a relationship breakdown you need to consider what is to happen to the division of any property and assets that you own. Often one of the most stressful parts is not knowing what your options are and what processes you need to follow. Obtaining information at the outset can help you to avoid unnecessary stress, costs and tax implications.

In this casual information sessions, you will hear from one of our senior lawyers, Nicole Cullen, Cathy Cover or Laura Clout and we will give you an overview of what to expect if you are considering a property settlement and how we adapt our approach to meet the unique needs of our clients. Nicole and her team have been running these free information sessions for the Mackay community for over 15 years and we have always received excellent feedback. During a stressful time in your life, we will help you to feel comfortable in learning about your options and the property settlement process.

Some of the topics covered include:

1. What assets will be included in the asset pool.

2. What happens if you owned assets in your own name prior to your relationship.

3. What happens if you own a business.

4. Does it matter whose name the house is in and can you change the locks.

5. How superannuation is treated.

6. What are the different options to finalise your property settlement without going to Court.

7. The different steps involved when going to Court, when that cannot be avoided.

8. Guidance to avoid costly Court disputes and ways to negotiate a settlement amicably, including options for mediation.

9. Tips to work with your lawyer and financial advisor to best secure your financial future.
