Family Law
Property Settlement Lawyers Melbourne
Family law property settlement advice for Melbourne clients dealing with real estate, superannuation, trusts, businesses, maintenance and contested disclosure issues.
Understanding Property & Financial Settlement
A family law property settlement is about far more than splitting a house. The court may need to assess real estate, superannuation, companies, trusts, debts, inheritances, business interests and the effect of family violence on contributions or future circumstances. Timing also matters: married couples and de facto partners do not have unlimited time to bring claims after separation.
Vitt Legal advises Melbourne clients on both negotiated and litigated financial settlements. We help identify the asset pool, test disclosure, obtain valuations, negotiate percentage-based outcomes and formalise agreements properly. Where the matter cannot resolve by consent, we prepare it for mediation or court with a clear evidentiary strategy.
