JOY Law: who gets the pets? Property settlement when relationships end

In this episode of JOY Law, we discuss matters concerning property settlement when relationships end.

We talked about the steps to working through a property settlement, including:

• proving relationship status (a key consideration given same sex marriage is not yet legal in Australia);
• agreeing on the property and assets to be divided;
• financial and non-financial contributions to the relationship;
• arriving at a ‘just and equitable distribution’ of property;
• time periods to make a claim to the courts about property settlement disputes; and
• reaching agreement about pets.
