Property & Financial

This New Way service stream covers the resolution of property and financial matters following separation or divorce, including the division of assets and liabilities, superannuation splitting, and the treatment of business interests, trusts and self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs). We work collaboratively to help separating couples reach practical and sustainable property settlement and financial settlement arrangements that properly reflect their circumstances and future needs.

Every family's financial circumstances are different. Where appropriate, the parties and their Settle Together lawyer can involve valuers, accountants, financial planners and other financial experts to help understand the value of assets, consider taxation implications and address broader financial planning considerations. This collaborative approach helps ensure the outcome is not simply legally sound, but financially informed, practical and built to last.

Once an agreement is reached, property settlement and financial agreements can be formalised through Consent Orders or a Binding Financial Agreement, depending on the circumstances and the outcome the parties are seeking. Our focus is on helping families resolve their financial matters in a way that provides clarity and certainty, while creating a practical foundation for life after separation.
