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 property settlement (also called 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.
We’re based in Mitchelton and help people across Brisbane’s north-west work out what’s in their property pool and what a fair split looks like, in person or online.
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.
We work with the best accountants, valuers and financial planners to keep your business moving and ensure that your commercial interests are protected.

We understand that when you’re navigating a separation or relationship property matter, the financial strain can sometimes stand in the way of getting the legal support you need. That’s why we’ve partnered with JustFund – Australia’s only dedicated provider of flexible funding solutions for family law legal fees. Through this partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and expenses related to separation or relationship property proceedings. You don’t have to repay the loan until you reach a settlement, which we hope reduces the stress associated with paying costs upfront.
