Property Settlements in New South Wales (NSW)

In NSW, property settlements are governed by the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) and involve the division of assets and liabilities between separating or divorcing couples. The key aspects of property settlements in NSW include:

  1. Identifying the asset pool: All assets and liabilities of the parties, regardless of whose name they are in, are considered part of the asset pool subject to division.
  2. Contributions: The court considers the financial and non-financial contributions made by each party during the relationship, including income, homemaking, and parenting contributions.
  3. Future needs: The court also considers the future needs of each party, such as their age, health, income-earning capacity, and the care of any children.
  4. Binding financial agreements: Couples can enter into binding financial agreements to determine how their assets and liabilities will be divided, either before, during, or after their relationship.
  5. Court orders: If an agreement cannot be reached, the court can make orders for the division of assets and liabilities based on the principles of fairness and equity.
  6. Time limits: There are strict time limits for applying for property settlements, typically within 12 months of a divorce order or 2 years after the end of a de facto relationship.
