| In June 2025, changes to the Family Law Act relating to the property and finances of separating couples came into effect.
The court is now required to consider the economic impact of family violence and the ownership of pets when determining property settlements and spousal maintenance. Changes also make explicit reference to wastage and place a greater weight on fully disclosing all financial information. If you think this may affect you, call one of our family lawyers on 8447 4466 for a free and confidential case assessment and phone consultation to outline your options. |
