Following a separation or divorce, one of the most important issues to resolve is the division of assets or property. At Maclarens, our family lawyers understand the need to reach an agreement over a property settlement quickly and fairly to avoid any potential disputes or conflict in the future. We also understand that the majority of couples do not want (or need) to go through the Court system to determine who gets what, and we can generally resolve any issues through mediation and negotiation without the need to go to Court.
We can help you with:
- Negotiating and implementing property settlements following separation
- Advising on tax implications and restructuring opportunities in property settlements
- Superannuation splitting
- Estate planning issues arising from property settlements
- Preparing and presenting property settlement proceedings in Court
- Alternate dispute resolution of property settlements including informal negotiation, mediation and collaboration
- Interim applications to protect assets
- Proceedings for interim and final spousal maintenance
