Paragraphs 90B-90KA of the Family Act 1975 deal with the financial agreements of the parties to the marriage. Sections 90 AU-90UN apply to financial agreements made by common-partner couples. The Act provides for financial arrangements between common couples only if the parties to the relationship were normally established in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, southern Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, the Northern Territory or Norfolk Island when the agreement was reached. If everything has been sorted in advance and agreed in principle, the court can comply with its financial settlement orders at the same time as the declaration of the decree. Subsequently, each transfer is normally considered a sale at market value and subject to cGT (if the annual exemption level of the CGT is exceeded). However, the transfer of the family home to the spouse who still lives in that house will, in most cases, remain exempt from the CGT. The transfer of a property under a divorce scheme is also exempt from stamp duty. In the event of a divorce, it is always helpful to consult legally with the financial issues arising from your marriage and to deal with them in a timely manner. If you did not do so at the time of the divorce, seek advice now to correct the situation. You should also be careful to remarry before a financial order has been issued, as in certain circumstances you may be prevented from requesting an order, while your former spouse can still do so. This can be especially helpful if you and your partner cannot discuss your divorce without arguing, if you want to avoid a trial or if you simply want to have an impartial position. Divorce can be a long process and there is no definite point in this process if a financial agreement is to be reached legally. It is certainly recommended that an agreement be reached before the two spouses remarry.

Nevertheless, any financial settlement should take into account the longer-term history of marriage and the future financial outlook. Many couples will have a quick divorce without entering into formal agreements on their finances. No, it is a widespread illusion. It is not a rule for marital assets to be divided 50/50 in the event of divorce; However, this is usually a starting point. In England and Wales, even if you are divorced, you still retain the ability to make financial claims against your ex and vice versa, and there is no time limit for these. Yes, assets can be included in a divorce.

As with all marital property, it depends on your personal circumstances. If it is not possible to reach an agreement between you on a company, the court will decide what they consider to be a fair and equal split. Precautions can be taken, such as closing a joint account or cancelling common credit cards before divorce; However, this can lead to potential problems when your spouse needs money for the cost of living.
