🚫 Myth Buster Monday 🚫

The name attached to a debt is not necessarily the end of the story.

A creditor may pursue the person - or people - legally responsible under the loan or credit agreement. However, in a family law property settlement, the treatment of that debt between separating parties is a separate question.

Relevant considerations may include:

➡ why and when the debt was incurred;
➡ how the borrowed funds were used;
➡ whether the debt benefited the relationship or family;
➡ what occurred after separation; and
➡ the parties’ overall financial circumstances.

This means a debt in one person’s name may still be relevant when determining the parties’ property settlement.

📌 The information above is general in nature and is not legal advice. If you need advice about your specific circumstances, we're here to help you.

At Fulcrum Family Law, growth is more than professional development. It is a core value that shapes how we learn, evolve and continually strive to be better, both as individuals and as a team.

We recognise that family law is an evolving profession, and that providing the best possible support to our clients requires more than knowledge and experience alone. It requires a willingness to challenge our thinking, reflect on our approach, embrace new perspectives and remain open to better ways of doing things. We are committed to learning and growing so that we can continue to meet the changing needs of the families we support.

Embracing growth means seeking opportunities to improve, being open to feedback and learning from both our successes and our challenges. It means having the courage to step outside our comfort zones, share knowledge with one another and support each other to reach our full potential. We understand that growth does not happen overnight, but through the small, consistent steps we take to become better at what we do.

We believe that when we invest in our own growth, we strengthen our team, enhance the experience we provide to our clients and contribute positively to our profession. By continually questioning how we can do better, we ensure we never lose sight of the opportunity to learn, improve and make a meaningful difference.

Growth. Better is always possible.

In Australian family law, parties have an ongoing duty to provide full and frank financial disclosure. This may include information about property, bank accounts, income, superannuation, investments, companies, trusts, liabilities, and assets held or controlled through another person or entity.
Failing to disclose an asset does not make it untouchable. If non-disclosure is identified, the Court may:
make orders requiring further disclosure;
draw adverse conclusions about the person’s financial position;
order that person to pay legal costs;
set aside an agreement or existing order; or
impose other penalties in serious cases.
Attempting to conceal, transfer, undervalue, or dispose of property can also affect how the Court assesses the evidence and determines a just and equitable outcome.
Key takeaway: Transparency is fundamental to resolving financial matters. Hidden assets may be discovered—and non-disclosure can have consequences beyond the value of the asset itself.

At Fulcrum Family Law, responsibility is more than a professional obligation. It is a core value that underpins every piece of advice we provide, every matter we manage, and every outcome we work towards with our clients.
We understand that family law matters often arise during some of the most challenging and emotionally demanding periods in a person's life. Clients place significant trust in us to guide them through complex decisions, provide clear and practical advice, and advocate for their interests. We do not take that responsibility lightly.
Taking responsibility means being accountable for our work, standing behind our advice, and approaching every matter with diligence, care and professionalism. It means being prepared, communicating openly and honestly, and remaining focused on achieving meaningful outcomes for the families we support. It also means acknowledging challenges when they arise, adapting where necessary, and continually striving to deliver the highest standard of service.
We believe strong outcomes are built on trust, accountability and commitment. By taking ownership of our role in every matter, we ensure our clients can move forward with confidence, knowing they have a team that is invested in helping them navigate the path ahead.
Responsibility. We own it. Every step of the way.
