Trusted Property Settlement Guidance from Reliant Legal

When two people separate, there will always be a need to split the assets of the relationship. Fortunately, at Reliant Legal, we know how to find a settlement that allows both parties to move forward and rebuild their lives. Our experienced team can assist you in determining what is fair in your circumstances, ensuring your rights and interests are fully protected.

Even if you and your ex-spouse reach a mutually satisfactory settlement, it’s a wise idea to have it checked over by a lawyer before you apply for consent orders. Our firm can review your agreement to ensure it reflects your best interests and that you’re not selling yourself short.

Both parties must reach an agreement outside of Court before filing an application for property orders. Parties are required to undergo pre-action procedures, and our team can guide you through each stage of the process with professionalism and clarity.

As one of Perth’s most trusted firms, Reliant Legal is recognised among the best child custody lawyers Perth, the best criminal lawyer Perth, and the best divorce lawyer in Perth, giving you confidence that your matter is handled with the highest level of expertise.

Whether you are negotiating property settlements, addressing family law matters, or navigating post-separation agreements, we are here to provide the legal guidance and support you need to move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

What if a settlement can't be reached?

In rare cases, such as situations involving urgency, family violence, refusal to negotiate or fraud, the Court may accept that it is not possible or appropriate for the pre-action procedures to be carried out.

If no agreement can be reached, then an application for property orders must be put into the Family Court of Western Australia and must be made within 12 months of your divorce becoming final or two years from the date of separation if the parties were in a de facto relationship.

Reliant Legal does not only represent you in Court.

We are committed to assisting you in the process of dispute resolution outside of Court as well as the formalisation of agreements.

Settling out of Court saves you and your family considerable time, stress and money.
