Family law property settlement in Brisbane (QLD)
We identify the asset pool, assess contributions and future needs, then design a division that is just and equitable under Queensland and federal law, including the Family Law Act 1975. Our family law firm are experienced in documenting outcomes that the Family Court can make an order for, so agreements are enforceable and practical.
What a property settlement includes
- Homes, investment properties and mortgages
- Superannuation splits and options
- Shares, managed funds and crypto records
- Businesses, trusts and loans from family
- Vehicles, personal property and liabilities
We consider property interests owned here or overseas and the division of assets and liabilities so the final property settlement agreement reflects real life.
Consent orders vs a financial agreement
Most clients prefer consent orders because they are reviewed by the Court. In some situations a financial agreement (Binding Financial Agreement) is better. We explain pros and cons, provide independent legal advice and draft whichever instrument suits your best course of action.
Mediation first, litigation only when needed
Many family law matters resolve by negotiation and mediation without going to court. Where litigation is required we file promptly, manage disclosure, and brief a barrister when strategic. Our strategic legal approach focuses on momentum, clarity and the best possible outcome.
Time limits and the date of separation
You do not need to be divorced to start a settlement. There are strict time limits: twelve months after divorce or two years after the end of a de facto relationship to start proceedings. We record the date of separation carefully and keep your matter up‑to‑date with practice directions.
Spousal maintenance, child support and arrangements for children
We align spousal maintenance, child support and housing decisions with your property timeline. Clear arrangements for children reduce friction and help settlements progress.
Valuations, disclosure and hidden assets
We work with independent valuers on real estate and businesses, and with accountants on superannuation. If disclosure is incomplete we use targeted requests and subpoenas so the asset pool covers all property interests.
