From justicefamilylawyers.com.au: Property settlement lawyers assess multiple factors when dividing assets following a couple’s separation, including the total asset pool, each partner’s financial and non-financial contributions, and their future needs.

They identify all owned and owed items such as properties, superannuation, debts, and personal assets, while ensuring fair evaluation of contributions like raising children or providing financial support.

The length of the relationship also plays a crucial role, with longer relationships typically resulting in more blended assets, and attorneys can address issues of hidden or overseas assets if necessary.
