Third Parties
If you are not one of the parties that are separating, should you or can you, get involved?
Sometimes you have no option. For example, you may have lent your son or daughter money during the relationship and you want to ensure you are repaid this money. Or you might own a business and you have slowly given more control to your child as part of your estate planning.
You might be a grandparent and you are not being allowed to spend time with your grandchild.
We can provide you with independent legal advice in relation to your rights and if necessary, we can represent you in the Family Court.
Financial
Following the breakdown of a relationship, you may need to deal with a wide range of issues when determining how to divide your property.
In Family Law, "property" includes many things and when dealing with a property settlement you may need to consider the following:
- the family home
- investment properties
- trusts, companies and partnerships
- superannuation including self-managed funds
- liabilities of the relationship
