Separate your finances with clear legal advice and a settlement that properly deals with your property, superannuation, debts and other financial interests.

Speak with a lawyer during a free initial consultation to understand the issues that may affect your settlement and the most practical next step.
Property Settlement Options
The right way to finalise your property settlement depends on what has been agreed, whether parenting arrangements also need to be documented and the level of legal protection required.
AGREED PROPERTY SETTLEMENT
Property Settlement Consent Orders
Make your agreed division of property, debts, superannuation and other financial interests legally binding. Our lawyers prepare the required documents and manage the court application process.

PROPERTY AND PARENTING

PRIVATE FINANCIAL AGREEMENT
Binding Financial Agreements
Set out how property and financial matters will be handled before, during or after a marriage or de facto relationship. Our lawyers can advise whether this type of agreement is suitable and prepare or review the document.

Property Settlement Advice, Negotiation and Representation
You do not need to have reached an agreement before speaking with us. At Family Law Resolutions, our property settlement lawyers assist clients from their first legal consultation through financial disclosure, negotiation, mediation, formal documentation and court proceedings where required.
The support required will depend on what has already been agreed, the assets involved and whether both parties are willing to exchange information and negotiate.
We can help you:
- Understand the factors that may affect your property settlement
- Identify relevant property, debts, superannuation and financial resources
- Request and review financial disclosure
- Assess an offer made by your former partner
- Prepare and respond to settlement proposals
- Negotiate with your former partner or their lawyer
- Prepare for and attend property mediation
- Address concerns about hidden or undisclosed assets
- Arrange property, business or other asset valuations where required
- Advise on superannuation splitting
- Prepare legally binding settlement documents
- Apply for urgent financial orders where necessary
- Represent you in property settlement proceedings
Resolve Your Property Settlement Without Going to Court
Going to court is not the only way to finalise a property settlement. Our lawyers can help you obtain financial disclosure, assess settlement proposals, negotiate with your former partner and prepare for mediation.
Once an agreement is reached, we can make it legally binding so your property, debts and superannuation are properly dealt with and future financial claims are addressed.
If your former partner refuses disclosure, conceals assets or will not negotiate, we can take formal steps and represent you in court where required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can Family Law Resolutions help with my property settlement?
Family Law Resolutions focuses exclusively on family law and has more than 20 years’ experience assisting with property settlements. We support clients across Australia, except Western Australia, through phone and video appointments, with fixed-fee options available for defined services.
Our lawyers can assist with initial advice, financial disclosure, negotiation, mediation, formal settlement documents and court proceedings where required.
Is property divided 50/50 after separation?
Not automatically. The outcome depends on the property and debts involved, each person’s contributions, their current and future circumstances and whether the overall settlement is just and equitable.
What can be included in a property settlement?
A property settlement may deal with real estate, mortgages, bank accounts, superannuation, businesses, trusts, investments, vehicles, personal debts, cryptocurrency and other financial interests. Property may still be relevant even when it is held in one person’s name.
Do I need to be divorced before finalising property settlement?
No. Divorce and property settlement are separate legal processes. You can begin or finalise a property settlement before applying for divorce.
Can we reach a property settlement without going to court?
Yes, many settlements are resolved through negotiation or mediation and then made legally binding. Court proceedings may be required if financial disclosure is withheld, urgent orders are needed or the parties cannot reach an agreement.
We can also take other pathways to finalising property settlement including consent orders and binding financial agreements.
What if my former partner refuses to disclose their finances?
Both parties must provide relevant financial information and documents. Our lawyers can identify missing disclosure, formally request the required information and advise on court action where it is not provided.
How much does a property settlement lawyer cost?
The cost depends on whether you need initial advice, negotiation, mediation, documentation or court representation. Family Law Resolutions offers fixed-fee options for defined services and explains the scope and fees before work begins.
