Relationship Property
& Separation

Separation

Separating from your partner or spouse is a life-changing event and can be one of the most difficult times of your life. There is no one size fits all separation just like there is no identical family or relationship dynamic. We will work alongside you through all aspects that may arise from your separation. The court process is only one option for resolving these issues but is by no means the first port of call. We are experienced in alternative dispute resolution processes and advocate resolution through negotiation, collaborative law approach, or mediation. It is our preference to work with our clients and peers collaboratively in order to find solutions that work for couples and/or families as a whole.

Some issues you may face and we can discuss with you include:

  • Classification of relationship and separate property

  • Trust matters on separation

  • Separation Agreements and/or Settlement Agreements

  • Mediation and round table meetings

  • Child Support

  • Guardianship rights

  • Spousal maintenance

  • Economic Disparity claims

  • Dissolution of marriage

The law around relationship property is a very emotional and complex area that requires careful consideration and a sensible practical approach to resolution. Sweetman Law brings over 30 years of experience in this area of law. Tony and Sarah take a practical approach in the assistance of their clients and will work alongside you with respect to all of your Relationship Property needs.

Your legal partner in life and future planning — alongside you.
