Divorce Property Settlement
Separation from a relationship can be a traumatic and stressful experience. When a

What You Need to Know About Parenting Plans
When a couple with a child or children divorces or ends their de facto relationship, challenges can develop as a result of the dissolution of the marriage or de facto relationship, with the most likely issue being what will happen to the children.

This procedure also relied greatly on the former spouse or partner being honest and forthcoming about where their retirement funds were held. All of that is poised to change on April 1, 2022, when new laws go into effect allowing the ATO and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia to share more information about an individual’s superannuation assets (FCFCOA).
