Legal entitlements following a de facto separation are now very similar to matrimonial settlements. As such, there is sometimes confusion as to what constitutes a de facto relationship.

De facto relationships are defined as a relationship with another person, including same sex relationships, where the parties are not legally married, not related by family and have a genuine relationship as a couple who are living together

Usually, you will need to demonstrate that you have been together, in a genuine relationship, for more than two years, although this may be overlooked if the couple have a child or there are other extenuating circumstances. De facto status automatically applies when the criteria is met under Australian law; there is no requirement for a formal ceremony.

How Can Daykin Family Law Help With De Facto Separation Entitlements?

Entitlements following separation apply whether the couple was married or in a de facto relationship. Daykin Family Law are able to provide expert legal advice for;

  • De facto property settlements
  • Spousal maintenance
  • Child support
  • Child maintenance

There is a limit of two years within which you can apply for property settlement or spousal maintenance under the Family Law Act. After this, a settlement agreement can only be made between the ex-couple privately or with permission from the court.

We are also able to provide advice before or during a de facto relationship to avoid disputes in the event of a relationship breakdown in the form of a Binding Financial Agreement.
