Family Law and Property Settlement

Family Law and Property Settlement

Figures such as 60% / 80% nett split in favour of the non-mining industry spouse are often touted as to be the expected result however it is important that people understand that every property settlement is different and the result will vary depending upon the size of the asset pool, the individual circumstances of each of the parties, contributions, income and importantly the manner in which the property settlement is undertaken.

At Equilaw we will make every effort to ensure that your matter is settled promptly out of Court by way of direct negotiations and/or mediation.

Already in May 2019 we have settled two property matters by way of negotiation with a disbursement to the spouse employed in the mining industry of 47% and 48% respectively.

If you have separated or are in the process of separating please make an appointment to meet with us for a confidential and thorough assessment of your position.
