In accordance with Section 4-AA of the Family Law Act (1975), a de facto relationship is established when individuals cohabit on a genuine domestic basis. This encompasses various aspects of shared life, including financial arrangements, property ownership, and mutual commitments. Upon separation, asset division becomes a pivotal issue, requiring meticulous assessment of financial contributions, non-financial contributions, and future needs to achieve a fair and just outcome.

Our experienced family law practitioners provide comprehensive guidance on navigating these issues, ensuring that clients understand their entitlements and are equipped to assert their rights effectively.
