How Property Settlements Work in Australian Divorce
Property settlement after separation or divorce in Australia is not a simple 50/50 split - the Family Court (or Federal Circuit and Family Court) considers multiple factors to reach a "just and equitable" outcome.
Key Factors Courts Consider
- Financial contributions: Income, savings, and assets each party brought to and during the relationship
- Non-financial contributions: Homemaking, childcare, and unpaid contributions to the relationship
- Future needs: Age, health, income-earning capacity, and care of children going forward
- Length of relationship: Longer relationships often see contributions treated more equally
This Is a Rough Estimate Only
Every divorce settlement is highly individual. This calculator provides only a very rough indicative range based on common patterns - it cannot account for the specific facts of your situation, which is why family lawyers and mediators play such an important role in reaching fair outcomes.
This is a rough estimate only and not legal advice. Family law settlements depend on detailed individual circumstances. Always consult a family law solicitor.
