FAQs About De-Facto Relationship
What is considered a de facto relationship in Brisbane?
A de facto relationship is one where two people live together as a couple on a genuine domestic basis but are not legally married. To be considered de facto, the relationship must generally have lasted for at least two years or involve a child of the relationship.
How are assets divided in a de facto separation?
Assets in a de facto separation are divided based on the contributions of each party to the relationship, both financial and non-financial, and what is fair and equitable. This includes property, finances, and superannuation. A lawyer can assist you in ensuring that the division is fair.
Do I need a lawyer for a de facto relationship agreement?
While it’s not legally required to have a lawyer, having one can help ensure your agreement is valid and properly protects your interests. Our team can guide you through the process and make sure your agreement is legally binding.
Can I apply for a property settlement after separating from my de facto partner?
Yes, you can apply for a property settlement after separating from your de facto partner, but you must do so within two years from the date of separation. If more than two years have passed, you may need to seek leave from the court.
How can I protect myself from domestic violence in a de facto relationship?
If you are facing domestic violence, it’s important to seek legal protection immediately. Our team can assist in applying for a Domestic Violence Order (DVO) to ensure your safety and provide you with support and resources.
