Dividing property after separation is rarely straightforward. Understanding your entitlements, and the process for reaching a fair outcome, helps you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

As property settlement lawyers on the Sunshine Coast, we advise on the family home, investments, businesses, trusts, debts and superannuation. Property is not automatically split 50/50. The Court looks at the assets, each person’s contributions and future needs, then decides what is just and equitable.

Time limits apply: generally 12 months after a divorce takes effect, or two years after separation for de facto couples. As a Sunshine Coast family law firm, we help you resolve matters through negotiation, mediation, Consent Orders or Court where necessary. See also superannuation splitting.
