FINANCIAL SETTLEMENTS
GET THE ANSWERS WITH A FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT LAWYER IN GEELONG
Even the most amicable break-ups can get messy when money is involved. You want to move forward with your separate lives feeling stable and financially secure, but you’ve probably got a lot of questions before you can get there.
With professional support for financial settlement after a divorce, you can be sure you’re making the right decisions for you and your family.
Canny Legal can help you resolve key issues such as who will get to keep the home, who will pay the mortgage, and ensuring the spouse on a lower income can maintain a reasonable standard of living. Ultimately, our job is to help you achieve financial security for the future.
BINDING FINANCIAL AGREEMENT LAWYERS THAT HELP YOU MOVE FORWARD
The family lawyers at Canny Group can help with the start-to-finish of creating a Court Order (also known as a Consent Order). Once this property settlement agreement has been drafted and signed by the parties, it goes to Court to be approved as a legally binding Court Order. This type of property settlement order will only get the go-ahead if the Court deems it “fair and equitable”.
In other, rarer circumstances, we can also support you to create a binding financial agreement after a separation. For this out-of-court agreement to go ahead, there’s no need for the agreement to be fair and equitable, but both parties need to have a lawyer who signs it off.
Whether you go for the Consent Order or Binding Financial Agreement option, Canny Legal provides the support and advice to help you reach the best conclusion, so you can start to move on.
Your dedicated property settlement lawyer in Geelong will learn about your background and assist with dividing property after separation, plus other assets and marital debts.
This includes the fair share of assets such as:
- Properties
- Investments
- Superannuation/ Retirement accounts
- Possessions
- Motor vehicles
- Business
Arrangements will be made for the allocation and payment of liabilities such as:
- Mortgages
