Divorce and Separation
Some couples, still on amicable terms, are able to manage separation with little or no involvement from Perth divorce lawyers. Whatever your situation, it’s important to be aware of the key facts ensuring that marriage, separation and the divorce process is official. Defacto Separations
In Western Australia, the Family Court Act recognises the existence of a defacto relationship whether the partners are heteros*xual or same s*x or even if one or both of them are legally married. Leaving a defacto relationship without a formalised agreement may be tempting, but it is a decision that could come back to haunt you. Property Settlement

In a high-altitude ascent, raw strength is useless without the correct anchor points.

Navigating a complex financial separation is identical. It demands more than standard advice. It demands a legal adviser who assists in mapping the route, anticipates shifting conditions, and secures your position before the terrain changes.

When everything is on the line, Leach Legal provides the strategic certainty your business requires.

The biggest myths founders believe often centre on initial corporate structuring.

It is a common assumption that allocating shares to family members or operating through a family trust will protect the business from matrimonial property claims. In reality, the Family Court has broad powers to examine and include interests held through companies, trusts and other structures when determining the matrimonial asset pool.

At Leach Legal, we assist founders and business owners to put the right structures in place from the outset.

03/08/2026

Discretionary trust structures do not automatically protect commercial wealth during a relationship breakdown.

The Family Court possesses broad powers to look through complex corporate entities and trust deeds when determining the matrimonial property pool. A trust setup is regularly evaluated as a financial resource or a marital asset.

Securing early specialist family law advice is essential to understand your specific asset exposure under Western Australian law.

22/07/2026

Complex wealth structures require specialist family law expertise to protect business continuity.

When separation threatens corporate governance, a dedicated specialist ensures commercial interests remain secure. Leach Legal protects intricate business structures and substantial financial portfolios, working alongside trusted advisers to manage legal exposure at every level.

14/07/2026

We see the same financial patterns repeat during high-stakes separations.

Perth business owners frequently overlook how relationship volatility interacts with shareholder agreements, company articles, and asset structures. Observing these oversights underscores why early risk mitigation is essential to protect your commercial foundations.

Securing specialist family law counsel allows you to identify these patterns before they disrupt your business continuity.

28/06/2026

Financial year planning is not complete without addressing personal risk to your business structures. True continuity means protecting your assets before circumstances change.

Early specialist family law advice secures your commercial position while conditions are stable.

23/06/2026

Even winning teams do not wait for a losing streak to refine their playbook. The best businesses constantly evaluate risk to maintain dominance.

Your business deserves the same forward planning.

When business is booming and your relationship is stable, legal protection is rarely prioritised. Protecting what you have built requires intention before circumstances change.

Early specialist family law advice secures your commercial foundation while the conditions are favourable.

09/06/2026

Our founder and CEO, Catherine Leach, recently sat down to explain why securing legal advice early is a critical commercial decision for business owners.

Taking the wrong step early in a family law matter can create significant risk and complicate your final financial outcome. Strategic planning is vital when assets and continuity are at stake. Securing strategic legal advice at the very beginning ensures your groundwork is secure, protecting your interests before formalities begin or irreversible steps are taken.

Undoing a legal misstep is difficult. Protecting your commercial position starts with the right advice at the right time. Hear more from Catherine in the video below.

For business owners, divorce is more than simply a legal process. It is a series of high-stakes decisions that carry financial and commercial consequences.

Clarity matters. So does having the right guidance when the situation is complex and the pressure is high.

At Leach Legal, advice is structured, direct and grounded in protecting what you have built, while giving you the confidence to move forward.

13/05/2026

Most founders do not see divorce risk until it is expensive.

It rarely starts with a single event. It builds over time. Small issues are deprioritised while the business takes focus. Decisions are delayed. Financial structures are left unreviewed.

By the time action is taken, the commercial impact is already significant.

For business owners, divorce is not just personal. It is a direct risk to assets, control and long-term business continuity.

The earlier this is addressed, the more options remain available.
