De facto Relationship Lawyer Gold Coast

We are experienced in all areas pertaining to de facto relationships, including:

• Consent Orders — A consent order formalises property division or parenting arrangements without a costly trial. Our de facto relationship lawyers in Queensland prepare enforceable documents reflecting your agreement, giving you certainty, court recognition and protection if disputes arise in the future.
• Binding Financial Agreements — These agreements outline how property, assets and liabilities will be divided if separation occurs. A de facto relationship lawyer can draft fair, legally binding terms that protect your interests and avoid expensive, drawn-out litigation in the event of conflict.
• Cohabitation Agreements — When entering a committed relationship, cohabitation agreements clarify finances, assets and responsibilities. We help couples create agreements that safeguard property rights, reduce uncertainty and minimise future disputes should the relationship end or circumstances change.
• Court Applications — If negotiation fails, court applications may be necessary. A skilled QLD de facto relationship lawyer can represent you and seek fair outcomes for property settlement, spousal maintenance or parenting issues.
• Enforcement Proceedings — When one party fails to comply with existing orders, enforcement proceedings may be required. We act quickly to uphold your rights, pursue compliance and reduce further stress by resolving breaches through the courts or legal negotiation.
• Complex Property Division — Some de facto relationship separations involve businesses, trusts or high-value assets. We excel at handling complex property division, carefully analysing financial structures and advocating for a fair, strategic settlement.
