One of the most difficult issues to resolve when separating is the fair division of property. This usually begins around the time of separation and, if not resolved, can go on for years.

It makes no difference whether you are married or living in a de facto relationship, each person is legally entitled to a fair share of the property when a relationship ends. Some people who choose freedom over money to avoid a lengthy dispute, forgo their entitlements and end up worse-off financially. This decision may be regrettable down the track.

Working out what you are entitled to can be a complicated process particularly if you are unable to come to an agreement with your partner. This is why it's so important to seek legal advice so that you understand what your entitlements are. You'll then be in a better position to realistically plan for the future.
