It is not uncommon for parties to amicably resolve any dispute they have regarding parenting, but continue the fight, so to speak, when it comes to property and maintenance or child support. increasingly, however, it has been revealed that property disputes can be just as emotionally draining on parties (and therefore children) as parenting disputes.
Each case is different and turns on its own facts. And the Family Law Act carefully sets out the 4 step process by which property matters are determined and the 5 step process by which maintenance matters are determined. However, that process is litigious and does not involve compromise.
Compromise is the cornerstone of property settlement as property investment. An early resolution to property disputes is an investment in:
* your peace of mind;
* your ex partner's peace of mind;
* you childrens' peace of mind;
* a happier co-parenting atmosphere; and
* less money wasted on lawyers - which is a real investment.
If parties looked at their property settlements as an investment, they are more likely to achieve long term satisfactory outcomes for all.
