The first step in any property settlement is to calculate the value of each person’s assets and debts. Once this has been done, the court will consider a number of factors to decide how the property should be divided.
These factors include:
The court will also take into account any agreement the couple has reached about how their property should be divided. If the couple can’t agree, the court will make a decision that is fair and equitable to both parties.
Property settlement is the process of dividing up your assets and liabilities after you separate from your partner. The process can be done through negotiation, mediation, or court. Assets may include the family home, investment properties, cars, furniture, and superannuation. Liabilities may consist of mortgages, loans, credit card debts, and any other debts you and your partner have.
No, you do not need to go to court to property settle. You can reach an agreement with your partner through negotiation or mediation. However, if you cannot reach an agreement, you can ask the court to make a decision.
The length of time it takes to property settle depends on a number of factors, such as how much you and your partner agree on and whether you go through mediation or court. If you reach an agreement through negotiation, it can take a few weeks. If you go to mediation, it can take a few months. If you go to court, it can take several months to a year.
A lawyer can help you understand your rights and options and can negotiate on your behalf. A lawyer can also give you legal advice about your specific situation. If you go to court, a lawyer can represent you and argue your case.
