The Process

4 Common Steps to Property Settlement

Identify the property pool:

The first step is financial discovery. We’ll identify assets such as your house, accounts, superannuation, shares, businesses, and all other joint-owned assets.

Identify contributions:

Next is to identify financial and non-financial contributions made by both parties. While a 50/50 split is common, factors like parental contributions, short-term high income, income disparities, age, and whether one party has children from a previous relationship can influence the final distribution. Property settlement can be achieved through a legally binding agreement or, in some cases, by court orders.

Identify spousal support:

In certain circumstances, one party may be eligible for spousal maintenance, which is financial support provided by one spouse to the other. This is determined based on factors like financial need and the ability to pay.

Court Adjustments

If an agreement cannot be reached through negotiation or mediation, the court may intervene to adjust the property settlement, ensuring a fair and just outcome for both parties.

Hear from the families we’ve helped

Wendy Robertson
Andrew Landers represented me in a complex and emotionally draining property settlement that extended over 15 months. During that time, I faced considerable uncertainty and hardship, and Andrew’s support made an enormous difference.
From our first meeting he demonstrated professionalism, integrity and calm reassurance. He was strategic in his approach, prompt in his actions and always kept me fully informed. He listened carefully, involved me in decisions and ensured I felt supported throughout.
Andrew’s balance of strength and empathy stood out. He was transparent, cost-conscious and genuinely committed to achieving a fair outcome. In a very overwhelming period of my life, his steady guidance gave me clarity and confidence.
I am sincerely grateful for his representation and would confidently recommend Andrew to anyone seeking skilled, principled and compassionate legal representation.
Anthony Tartaglia
They provide a very good service. They are professional, punctual and on-point. Their knowledge of law is quite good. I do recommend their services.
Mevyn Appaya
Heartiest thanks to Andrew, Jill and his entire team for handling my parenting matter. I have never posted any review before. But this one cannot go unrecognized. I had one of the toughest battle for child custody. Andrew went beyond conventional lawyer firms and assisted me even after hours and weekends without overcharging. He invested both professionally and emotionally in my case as he understand importance of both parents in upbringing of a child. Andrew is very experienced, knows the legal system and will always give you advice on what work best for your matter. I highly recommend Andrew for your family matters. 🙏🙏

Mal Pieterse recently assisted me in a parenting matter. Family court is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved and I found Mal’s support and advice to be invaluable during this time. I found Mal to be professional, calm and child-focussed.

Libby Viriki
Lander Solicitors have handled some family law stuff for me recently. Prior to my initial consult with Andrew & Mal I was very anxious about my situation but quickly felt comfortable and understood. Both Andrew & Mal are very professional but most importantly kind, genuine & patient during what is a difficult situation. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone who is chasing ‘down to earth’ but professional legal representation.
John Allan
Andrew Lander is a lawyer that was genuinely interested in helping me resolve my family law matter against my ex-wife at a time when I had to change lawyers and I was struggling emotionally. His no nonsense unpretentious approach, whilst still providing expert advice, helped me achieve a fair and equitable outcome in a cost-effective manner. I recommend him.
Jeff Krause
I have just returned from my final property settlement two day trial. It took several years with my previous law firm to get nowhere. Settled on the first day without a trial. Absolutely a great team to work with. Eternally grateful to Andrew, Malcom and the Barrister that Lander Solicitors arranged for me. Excellent outcome. Brilliant law firm to deal with.

I'm so grateful to have had Andrew and Malcolm on my team and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer.
