Financial Considerations During Divorce
1. Asset Division
One of the key aspects of a divorce settlement is the division of assets acquired during the marriage. This can include property, investments, savings, and other valuable possessions. Our lawyers at Wright Street Lawyers can assist you in negotiating a fair division of assets that aligns with Australian family law principles.
2. Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance may be awarded in cases where one spouse requires financial support from the other after the divorce. Our legal team can help you understand your rights and obligations concerning spousal maintenance and work towards a satisfactory arrangement.
3. Financial Disclosure
Full and honest financial disclosure is essential in divorce proceedings. Failing to disclose relevant financial information can lead to legal complications. Our lawyers will guide you through the process of financial disclosure to ensure transparency and compliance with the law.
