I'm In A De Facto Relationship, How Is Property Split?
If you agree with your de facto partner on issues of property you can enter into a Termination Agreement. A termination agreement will outline all of the property arrangements that you and your de facto partner have agreed to including matters about the division of property and superannuation.
In order for this agreement to be legally binding it requires both you and your former partner to receive independent legal advice.
What If We can't Agree?
Property disputes between de facto partners are covered by state legislation. Every state and territory in Australia has specific de facto legislation in place to address the disputes that may result from the breakdown of a de facto relationship, specifically in relation to property.
As this area of the law is not 'black and white' it is highly recommended that you seek legal advice in your State of residence.
