For many, the biggest impact of separation is financial. Suddenly, it may just be your income available to pay the mortgage, or rent, and to keep the lights on. The superannuation, investments and savings you thought would be your future retirement plan might be at risk, or your ex-partner might hold those assets in their name alone. A financial settlement is an adjustment of each party’s interest where necessary to ensure that what each of you leaves the relationship with is fair.
If you operate a business or businesses, there are likely complex financial ties that need to be considered, like company loans to both parties, family trust structures, self managed superannuation, guarantor and director duties and potentially the removal of one party or the other from various commercial structures. This can cause a high level of conflict, and seriously impact the profitability and day to day operations of a business.
