Why Do You Need a Family Lawyer for a Property or Financial Matter?
If you have gone through a separation or divorce and want to know what you are entitled to, then the experts at Brydens can help.
Our team of property settlement family lawyers can assess the combined assets and liabilities of the parties and their respective indirect financial contributions and non-financial contributions during the relationship to determine what you will be entitled to. This involves requesting full disclosure from both parties either directly or through their legal representatives.
We will then advise you of your possible entitlement in a percentage amount, depending on your circumstances. For example, contributing factors to consider are the amount of contribution you have made initially, during the relationship and post-separation; the length of the relationship; and whether there is a child or children in the relationship and who the children live with.
Brydens Lawyers can also advise you about what can be added to the matrimonial pool and what types of contributions may be considered.
What Will the Family Lawyer Organise for You?
Brydens Lawyers can organise the appraisal and valuations of the various assets owned by you and the other party. We can also ensure all joint accounts are closed and joint debts are repaid.
Our family lawyers can assist the parties in reaching an agreement and formalising the agreement. This is done through an application for Consent Orders or a Binding Financial Agreement to ensure the agreement reached is enforceable. However, if no agreement can be reached, we are able to assist in negotiations, attending mediation sessions and attending family court.
What Are the Costs Involved with Engaging a Family Lawyer?
The legal fee varies on a case-by-case basis and the nature of the work to be undertaken. If you would like to learn more about how Brydens Lawyers can help you settle your property and financial matters, then please do not hesitate to reach out and contact us. Our team of professionals can offer a wealth of knowledge across all areas of family law.
When Should You Consult a Family Lawyer?
You can consult a lawyer at any stage, but it is best to consult a family lawyer during the early stages of your separation, before any division is made or an agreement or orders signed. This way, your family lawyer can provide you with the best advice in regard to your entitlements.
