Property Settlements in Separation and Divorce

Dealing with property settlements during separation or divorce can be daunting. It's not just about dividing assets like property, savings, or debts, but also about respecting the contributions both parties have made. At Hillcrest Family Lawyers, we're here to help guide you through this sensitive process. Our approach is not just rooted in legal knowledge, but in a deep understanding of the emotional journey that comes with such significant life changes.

Navigating Through Property Settlements

  1. Open and Honest Disclosure: We encourage both parties to fully share information about their assets and debts. It’s crucial for everyone involved to have a clear picture, ensuring that the settlement is as fair and transparent as possible.
  2. Valuing Contributions, Big and Small: We know that what you’ve brought to your relationship isn't just about money. That’s why we look at all kinds of contributions, from financial support to homemaking, to ensure everyone feels valued and respected.
  3. Looking Ahead: We take into account not just where you are now, but where you're heading. This means thinking about your future needs, whether it’s planning for retirement or caring for children.
  4. Seeking Fairness, Not Just Equality: Fairness is key in our approach to dividing assets. We understand that each situation is unique, and we’re committed to finding a solution that feels right for you.
  5. Making Agreements Official: When you both agree on how to divide things, we’re here to make it official with legal paperwork. And if you can't agree, we’re ready to stand by you in court, always advocating for what’s fair.
  6. Addressing Superannuation Sensitively: We handle superannuation division with care, making sure it’s handled as fairly as any other asset.
