Going through a separation or divorce? 🏠⚖️

Few questions cause more anxiety at the end of a relationship than: “What happens to the house, the super and the savings?”

Australian family law does not guarantee an automatic 50/50 split. Instead, the outcome depends on a structured legal process that considers each person’s contributions, individual circumstances and future needs.

Read our latest blog to understand how property settlements work and the steps you can take to protect your financial future. 👇

⚖️ Is an insolvent estate putting your family at risk?

When an insolvent estate has more debts than assets, executors must follow strict legal procedures before distributing any inheritance. Acting too soon or incorrectly could expose executors to personal liability.

Key Things to Know:

✔️ Creditors are generally paid before beneficiaries.
✔️ Executors should determine the estate's financial position before making any distributions.
✔️ Early legal advice can help minimise disputes and ensure the estate is administered correctly under Queensland law.

How do you divide property in a divorce?

Separation brings a hundred questions at once, but this is usually the big one: how do you divide property in a divorce, and will you walk away with a fair share? Spoiler: it's not a 50/50 split, and Australian family law doesn't leave it to guesswork.

✅ Property is divided under a 4-step legal process (Family Law Act 1975): identify the asset pool, assess contributions, consider future needs, decide what's just and equitable
✅ Most settlements land between 55/45 and 65/35, not an automatic even split
✅ Everything counts: the family home, super, savings, business interests, debts, even overseas assets
✅ Start early, you don't need to wait for your divorce to be finalised
✅ Strict time limits apply: 12 months post-divorce for married couples, 2 years for de facto separation
✅ New 2024 reforms now factor in the economic effect of family violence on contributions
