Some couples, still on amicable terms, can manage separation with little or no involvement from Perth divorce lawyers. Whatever your situation, it’s important to be aware of the critical facts ensuring that marriage, separation and the divorce process is official.
In Western Australia, the Family Court Act recognises the existence of a defacto relationship whether the partners are heterosexual or same-sex or even if one or both of them are legally married. Leaving a defacto relationship without a formalised agreement may be tempting, but it is a decision that could come back to haunt you.
When a relationship breaks down, often the first questions asked are, how much am I entitled to? Is my family inheritance part of the marital pool of assets? What if my ex is trying to conceal assets? As Perth Family Lawyers, these are questions we hear all the time. And it’s essential for you to know your options.
