Same sex marriage or defacto relationships

 

Same sex partners have the same rights as heterosexual couples both with respect to parenting and property. Since the amendment of the Marriage Act, same-sex couples can now also obtain a divorce order if they are married and have been separated for 12 months.

If you are in a same sex relationship that has broken down or you are considering leaving your relationship, we urge you to contact us to discuss how to finalise your property and or parenting matter.
