FAQs from our property settlement lawyer Logan team
How long does a property settlement take?
The length of time it takes to complete a property settlement can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the assets involved, the level of cooperation between parties, and the need for court intervention. It’s best to consult with an experienced family lawyer to discuss your individual situation and get a realistic estimate of how long the process may take. Contact us to discuss your situation with one of our property lawyers.
Can I get a divorce before property settlement?
Yes, it is possible to obtain a divorce before a property settlement is finalised. However, it’s important to note that finalising the property settlement can have an impact on the divorce settlement, as the court will take into account the property settlement when deciding on the division of assets and liabilities. It’s recommended to seek the advice of an experienced family lawyer to ensure that your interests are protected and that your divorce and property settlement are handled correctly.
How long after separation can you do a property settlement?
In Queensland, there is no set time limit for when a property settlement must occur after separation. However, it’s generally recommended to try to finalise the settlement as soon as possible after separation, as a delay can create uncertainty and make it harder to negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement.
Is property settlement taxable income?
In most cases, property settlement is not considered taxable income. However, it’s recommended to seek the advice of a qualified tax professional to determine if any tax implications may arise from your specific property settlement.
Can a de facto partner claim for property?
Yes, de facto partners can claim for property settlement in the event of a relationship breakdown, provided certain criteria are met. In Australia, de facto couples have the same legal rights and entitlements as married couples in relation to property division, and can seek legal assistance to help them resolve their property disputes.
