In what situations would it be necessary to go to Court about a property settlement?
If you cannot come to an agreement with your ex-partner, the Family Court or Federal Circuit Court has the power to make orders for property and financial settlements.
After filing an Application for property or financial Orders the Court will ordinarily refer the parties to Conciliation in an attempt to resolve their dispute. If no Agreement is reached at Conciliation a Court can determine the division of assets and liabilities after hearing evidence from both parties and any supporting witnesses.
