Property and housing after separation
We can help you safely and fairly divide assets, debts and housing if your relationship ends after family violence
We can support you to:
- Understand the process and your rights when dividing property
- Know what to do if there are urgent issues, like assets being hidden, moved or sold
- Work out your rights if your name isn’t on the title of your home
How we can help you
Separation is especially difficult when family violence has affected your safety, money or housing. We can help you understand your options with property, superannuation, debt and housing, including what steps you can take next. Our lawyers listen, answer your questions, and help you make decisions that feel right and safe for you. They work alongside social workers and financial counsellors who can support you if you need. You can talk with us by phone, online, and sometimes in person. Our goal is to help you stay safe and informed.
