Your Rights in De Facto Relationships
Not everyone realises that de facto couples have many of the same legal rights as married couples—especially when it comes to dividing assets or caring for children. The law considers your shared finances, how long you've lived together, any children you have and the nature of your commitment.
We help clients sort out everything from property ownership to superannuation splits and family arrangements. If you're still together, we can help draft a financial agreement to protect your interests in case things change. If you've separated, we help with clear legal advice on what you're entitled to and how to move forward.
You don't need to figure it all out alone. We’ll guide you through the legal side without rushing or confusing you.
Separation Support That Keeps You Grounded
When a de facto relationship breaks down, it can feel overwhelming—especially if finances, kids or housing are involved. We're here to offer steady support that helps you think clearly and act with confidence.
We explain what counts as a fair division of assets, help you document agreements, and prepare court applications if needed. We can also advise on parenting arrangements, relocation concerns or urgent legal protections. Every step is handled with care, confidentiality and your long-term wellbeing in mind.
It's not just about resolving conflict—it's about helping you make the right decisions for your future.
