Property Settlement Lawyer Gold Coast

Property Settlement

Our approachable team has over 25 years of experience in handling all aspects of the division of marital or de facto property.

Many of the common questions fall into the categories of:

How to value the assets of the marriage?
How to split the major assets (being the family home and superannuation or family businesses)?
How will the children be provided for by way of child support?
Can I obtain spousal support from the other party?

Like children’s matters, the Family Court requires parties to attempt to resolve their dispute first through dispute resolution. We can guide you through the process of asset valuations, dispute resolution and attend with you if appropriate mediation, which is a very effective method of resolving the property settlement dispute.

If dispute resolution is not appropriate in circumstances such as domestic violence or urgency (e.g., an attempt by the other party to dispose of an asset), then we can help you file an Application in the Court. There is a time limit for the filing of an application by a spouse or de facto, namely 12 months from the divorce or date of separation.

FAQs

Why do I need a lawyer for a property settlement?

Property settlements can be complex, involving valuation, negotiation, tax implications and legal deadlines. A lawyer for property settlement protects your entitlements, drafts binding agreements and avoids costly mistakes or disputes. Expert guidance helps you reach a fair, enforceable outcome while reducing stress and unnecessary court involvement.

What documents will my lawyer need for property settlement?

Bring details of assets and liabilities: property titles, mortgages, bank statements, superannuation balances, tax returns, business financials and loan documents. Your property settlement lawyer may also request income records, valuations and details of children’s expenses. Supplying complete, accurate information ensures stronger advice, faster negotiation and a legally sound agreement.

Can I handle property settlement without a lawyer?

It’s possible but risky. DIY agreements often fail to meet legal requirements, leading to disputes or unenforceable outcomes. A property settlement lawyer understands the Family Law Act, deadlines and court processes in Australia, protecting your assets and future. Professional advice usually reduces stress and avoids costly mistakes that can’t be undone later.
