How to have a Successful Separation

  • A SEPARATION occurs when a marriage or de facto relationship irretrievably breaks down, and one or the other or both parties call a SEPARATION, verbally or in writing.

  • If one person then physically leaves the home, then this is clear evidence of the Separation. But if the parties wish to continue to live under the same roof for a period, then it is important that the decision to separate be communicated and preferably in writing.

  • Then the parties need to resolve the family law issues. These include the

    TWO MAJOR ISSUES:

    PROPERTY SETTLEMENT- the division of property and liabilities between the parties.

  • PARENTING ARRANGEMENTS - for the care and accommodation of the children, where they live, what time they spend with each parent and other important people, and decision-making responsibilities.

  • And FOUR ASSOCIATED LEGAL MATTERS: We help you the resulting issues arising from a Separation:

  • Child Support and Spouse Maintenance.

  • Conveyancing (link to that product page).

  • Divorce (link to that product page).

  • Wills and Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship (link to that product page)
