Relationship Property

Dividing property at the end of a relationship, or agreeing in advance how it would be divided. Both are worth doing properly, and the second is considerably cheaper than the first.

  • Contracting out agreements, sometimes called prenuptial agreements
  • Separation and settlement agreements
  • Disputes about classification of property as relationship or separate
  • Trusts holding relationship property
  • Economic disparity claims

A contracting out agreement is only binding if each party has independent legal advice and the agreement is certified. That requirement is not a formality; it is the thing that makes the agreement hold.

When to call: before moving in together, before a marriage or civil union, or as soon as a relationship ends.

The first conversation costs nothing and carries no obligation. Get in touch and you will get a straight answer about where you stand.
