With over 75 years of combined experience in family law, our team has assisted countless clients across Brisbane and Queensland to resolve property matters efficiently, fairly, and with minimal conflict.
A property settlement is the legal process of dividing assets, liabilities, and financial resources following the breakdown of a marriage or de facto relationship.
This may include:
Importantly, property settlement is not just about who owns what it is about reaching a fair and equitable outcome based on your unique circumstances.
Property settlements in Australia follow a structured legal approach under the Family Law Act. The Court generally considers:
All assets and liabilities of both parties are considered regardless of whose name they are in.
This includes:
The Court considers factors such as:
The final division must be fair in all the circumstances.
At James Noble Law, we guide you through each of these steps with practical advice tailored to your situation.
We believe that most property settlements should be resolved without the stress and cost of litigation.
Our firm places a strong emphasis on:
These approaches can significantly reduce emotional strain and legal costs while allowing you to retain control over the outcome.
However, where agreement cannot be reached, we are highly experienced litigators and will represent you with skill and confidence in Court.
It is essential that any agreement reached is legally binding. This can be done through:
Filed with the Court and approved as legally enforceable orders.
A private agreement made under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth.) that formalises how assets are divided.
We will advise you on the most appropriate option for your circumstances and ensure your agreement is properly documented to protect your future.

If you miss these deadlines, you may need special permission from the Court which is not guaranteed.
