Agreeing to property settlement after separation

Home » 澳洲法律解读 » 家庭法 » Agreeing to property settlement after separation

Should you need assistance completing a property settlement post-separation, speak to one of our family lawyers at Chua Tan Associates. The first step you should do if you are thinking about agreeing to a property settlement with your ex-partner or have already done so is to contact a lawyer to understand what your entitlements are before you formalise any agreements in writing. Nevertheless, when finalising their property settlement, separated couples can agree to how they will divide their assets. It is important to formalise their agreement in writing as an informal financial agreement will not be legally binding nor enforceable in a court, allowing a party to come back with a new proposal for property settlement in the future.When a couple separates, they can agree to a property settlement and make it legally binding by agreeing to consent orders or entering into a binding financial agreement.

Parties enter into a binding financial agreement post-separation to ensure their agreement is binding and enforceable, so that parties cannot come back later on for more money or assets in the future, with the Parties being prevented from making an Application to the Court as well as the Court being barred from making any Orders inconsistent with the Agreement. In this respect, there is no independent examination of the contents of the binding financial agreement by the Court. Moreover, nor is there a requirement for binding financial agreements to provide for a similar outcome than what a Court can order. For parties wanting to enter into a financial agreement after separating, they still need to meet the requirements for there to be a binding financial agreement which includes each party being required to receive independent legal advice about it before it is signed. In this respect, binding financial agreements have additional grounds which can set them aside which Consent Orders do not. Note binding financial agreements do not deal with parenting matters.

Consent Orders are enforceable Court Orders entered into voluntary by the separated parties which resolves disputes relating to property and financial interests, spousal maintenance as well as parenting matters. Consent orders are usually the preferred method to divide property after a couple has separated as it is an Agreement that is entered into inside of Court. However, the mention of the word “Court” can create much anxiety and tension to the separating couple. The parties enter into Consent Orders by signing the proposed consent orders, which are then filed with the Family Law Courts. The proposed Consent Orders and an Application for Consent Orders are filed with the Court and then considered by a Court Registrar. The Registrar considers the relevant information provided and whether the proposed property settlement is just and equitable based on the parties’ specific circumstances and decides whether to make binding the Court Orders based on the agreed terms in the Consent Order. The main benefit of using Consent Orders is that it can also formalise parenting arrangements (i.e. to set out a parenting order which is in the best interests of the child or children) along with financial arrangements in the same set of Orders. In addition, the parties do not generally need to attend Court and Consent Orders provide very limited grounds to appeal, vary or set aside. Learn more about how we can help protect your entitlements by booking a consultation today.

Spousal maintenance considerations can be incorporated into financial agreements

Chua Tan Associates can help you achieve a favourable outcome for you. If you would like advice about your matter, contact our office on 03 9602 3988 today. Future spousal maintenance claims can be cancelled out if you satisfy specific requirements. In this respect, a binding financial agreement can provide certainty by removing the Court’s power to order spousal maintenance so long as the parties can support themselves without income tested pension, allowance or benefit when the Agreement begins to operate or when the Parties have fully separated.
