Relationship property & divorce
“Divorce is never a pleasant experience. You look upon it as a failure. But I learned to be a different person once we broke up. Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success.”
We specialise in two relationship property areas:
- contracting out agreements (Americans call them pre-nuptial agreements) designed to identify and ring-fence your separate property so that it doesn’t become relationship property (and therefore not divided with your partner/spouse on a separation)
- settlement agreements recording an agreed division of relationship property/relationship debt following separation.
Our focus is on reaching a negotiated outcome, thereby avoiding expensive, stressful and uncertain Court proceedings at a time when clients are at their most vulnerable. In this context the saying is often true – only the lawyers win in Court proceedings.
Most clients just want a fair division of relationship property. We can help you navigate through this mine field.
Our services include:
- Relationship property contracting out agreements
- Relationship property settlement agreements following separation
- Related property and commercial asset transfers
- Divorce (marriage dissolution)
