Property settlement lawyers Australia

Parting ways and dividing the assets

When your relationship breaks down, there is so much to deal with on top of the emotional turmoil. Settlement of property and assets can be a stressful and bitter experience without the help of a supportive, experienced lawyer, especially if you are not fully aware of, or don’t fully understand your rights and entitlements.

Although we see a lot of hype about the ongoing dramas of celebrity separations, most couples just want a fair and amicable agreement so that they can get some finality and certainty and move on. Usually, this involves making arrangements for children and other family members.

If you need help in making practical arrangements for the care of your children speak to Clive Mills.

We’re listening

Most commonly, separating couples, whether married or defacto will need to agree on the division of the family home and/or investment property, cars, shares and super. We can help you to reach an agreement which is formalised in consent orders made by a court.

Even a straightforward pool of assets can cause conflict when either party is hurt, bitter or stressed. Our aim is to have your situation resolved quickly and effectively and without involving contentious proceedings in a family law court if at all possible. Our conciliatory approach and depth of experience mean that in most cases we can find a practical solution that satisfies both parties, without either party incurring excessive legal fees.

Do you know exactly what your partner owns?

At Clive Mills & Associates, we do our utmost to find out all of the facts related to the settlement of property, apply the law correctly, present you with all the options, and act according to your wishes to give you an acceptable outcome.

With Clive’s experience in settlement of property under family law Australia, he knows exactly what searches and enquiries to make to attempt to find every asset and liability, and his attention to detail means that your detailed instructions are always carefully noted, and acted on promptly.

When court is the only option

We try to avoid court proceedings as much as possible, but, inevitably, some cases do require a court hearing and resolution. When that happens, we make sure your barrister is well briefed with thorough, detailed and accurate information to get the matter resolved as efficiently as possible. You won’t have to go through the trauma of telling your story twice.
