 Robina Family Lawyers  

The property of a married couple must be divided fairly between them. Issues to be taken into account include:

  • The property that each party brought into the marriage.
  • The length of the marriage.
  • The contribution of each party to home making and child rearing.
  • The future needs of the parties - including the financial burden of child rearing.
No two marriages are exactly the same. You need advice from a lawyer who has dealt with a wide variety of situations and personalities.

You must take steps to divide matrimonial property within twelve months of being divorced.

Conserving The Family's Assets:
Family breakdown often causes the assets of the family to be eroded through forced sales or poorly considered division of property.
Litigation over matrimonial property is an expensive procedure and should be avoided wherever possible. It is our policy to look for a division of matrimonial property that will best conserve the value of the assets. Our many years of experience in property and commercial law gives us the background to provide this practical advice.

Documenting Your Agreement On Property:
To provide security and peace of mind, we advise clients to have their arrangements about property entered as Consent Orders. Once this step has been taken, property issues can only be re-opened in extraordinary circumstances.

Transfers of real estate from one party to another made pursant to an Order under the Family Law Act are also free of stamp duty.
