Separated and need to divide your property, super and debts fairly? We guide you from first advice to final orders — by agreement wherever possible, and firmly in Court when it's not.
A property settlement is the legal division of everything you and your former partner own and owe — the home, savings, superannuation, businesses, vehicles and debts — after a marriage or de facto relationship ends. It's separate from your divorce and applies to de facto couples too.
At My Lawyer Melbourne we help you reach a fair outcome without unnecessary conflict or cost — and protect your position if the other side won't be reasonable.
We assess your asset pool and explain what a fair split looks like for you.
We put your position to the other side and work toward agreement — most matters settle here.
We draft consent orders or a binding financial agreement so the deal is legally locked in.
If agreement isn't possible, we prepare and run your case in the Federal Circuit & Family Court.
Married couples generally must apply within 12 months of a divorce; de facto couples within 2 years of separation. Time limits are strict — speak to us early.
Usually not. Most settlements are resolved by negotiation and consent orders. Court is a last resort.
No. The Court weighs each person's contributions and future needs — it's case by case, not automatically halved.
Yes — we have lawyers who speak Punjabi, Arabic and Hindi, among others.
