A 43-year-old female engaged EAS Legal following the breakdown of a long-term relationship involving a significant property pool, superannuation and competing claims regarding the parties’ contributions.
The parties initially remained substantially apart in their respective positions, creating the prospect of expensive and lengthy litigation.
Our Family Law team carefully analysed the financial material, identified the issues genuinely in dispute and adopted a strategic approach to negotiations focused on achieving a commercially sensible outcome rather than allowing conflict to drive the proceedings.
A favourable property settlement was negotiated and formalised without the need for a final hearing, providing our client with financial certainty while avoiding the significant additional cost and stress of a trial.
