Defacto Relationships

Under the Family Law Act, a person is in a de facto relationship with another person if the persons are not legally married to each other, they are not related by family and they are a couple that are in a relationship on a ‘genuine domestic basis’.

If all three of the above points are present, the Court will take into consideration a range of factors which include the duration of the relationship, nature and extent of common residence and the reputation and public aspects of the relationship.

New Commonwealth Laws were enforced on 1 March 2009 in relation to the division of property for people in de facto relationship separations. These laws enable de facto couples to access the Family Law Court of Australia and the Federal Magistrates Court for property division and spousal maintenance matters, as married couples can.

De facto property matters can be finalised either by Consent Orders or a Binding Financial Agreement. In the event that a matter is required to be brought to court, Michelle Porcheron Lawyers can assist you in ensuring that the matter is settled efficiently and effectively.

Ways a De facto Relationship Lawyer Can Help During Separation

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.
