The Separation Guide | A starting point for better separation and divorce

Episode 20: What's fair when you split your assets?


Listen Later

Dividing assets and property in separation and divorce may seem like a simple equation, but it gets complicated quickly. A 50-50 split may not always be the best outcome. Listen to find out what factors need to be considered in determining a fair property split. In this episode, we talked to Lauren Patford-Smith of Padford-Smith Legal Services about:

  • the 4-step process of Family Law
  • what assets and debts should you should include in your marital asset pool
  • how the length of your relationship and when you acquired assets impact the percentage split
  • how financial and non-financial contributions are considered
  • how the circumstances of your situation over the life of your relationship affect the split
  • what happens when one person has spent time out of the workforce as a primary carer
  • how your needs after separation are considered.
