    How is a financial settlement reached?

    There a number of different factors that are taken into account in an assessment of how capital should be divided and whether income should be considered. These include:

    • The income, earn capacity, property and other financial assets which each party has or is likely to have in the foreseeable future.
    • The financial needs, obligations and responsibilities in which each party has or is likely to have in the foreseeable future.
    • The standard of living enjoyed by the family before the breakdown of the marriage.
    • Any physical or mental disability of either of the parties to the marriage and their health.
    • Financial loss to any party of the divorce.

    What if children are involved in the divorce?

    Children should always have a happy and secure childhood, even after the breakdown of a marriage. Both parents should play a part in their lives, it is important that children are protected from conflict and don’t become involved in adult matters including a parent negatively talking about the other. The encourages separated parents to work for the best outcome for their children, they desire the parents to resolve any disputes between themselves out of court.

    If both parents agree are happy with the arrangements, normally where they live and how much time they spend with each parent, the court does not need to be involved. However if either party doesn’t agree the terms, either party can apply to the court for resolution of the disputed issue. This could be for a wide range of reasons.
