Separating from Your Spouse or Domestic Partner

When a relationship breaks down, and in the case of marriage, a divorce alone does not deal with the division of property. Nor does a divorce formalise arrangements for a child or children who have lived with you and your partner during the course of the marriage.

Commonly, financial matters and making arrangements for the children are of utmost importance to separating couples.

When a relationship breaks down, and in the case of marriage, a divorce alone does not deal with the division of property. Nor does a divorce formalise arrangements for a child or children who have lived with you and your partner during the course of the marriage.

At Andersons, we can provide you with advice about your rights and entitlements if, for example, you are contemplating separation from your partner or after separation has occurred. Commonly, financial matters and making arrangements for the children are of utmost importance to separating couples. We can advise you on many frequently asked questions; for example, who is responsible for paying the mortgage if you or your partner leaves the family home?

Separation is a difficult time for all involved, including children.  Andersons can advise you about the requirements that apply to children if you and your partner are unable to reach agreement about where and with whom the child or children shall live with and spend time with. We can also refer you to appropriate private and community based services able to assist you and your family with the changes following separation.
