Property Settlement

Dividing assets after a separation or divorce can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Kruse Legal, our experienced family lawyers in Blackwood are here to help you understand your rights and secure a fair property settlement.

We work with individuals across the Adelaide Hills, providing trusted advice and representation in both amicable and complex family law matters.

Property settlement is the legal process of dividing assets and liabilities between separating partners. This can include:

• The family home and other real estate
• Superannuation and financial investments
• Bank accounts, vehicles, and personal property
• Business interests
• Debts and mortgages

Each relationship is different, and there’s no fixed formula. Australian family law focuses on achieving a just and equitable outcome based on:

• Financial and non-financial contributions made by each party
• Future financial needs and earning capacity
• Parenting responsibilities and care of children
• Length and nature of the relationship

At Kruse Legal, we strive for practical and cost-effective resolutions. Wherever possible, we encourage family dispute resolution and negotiated settlements to avoid unnecessary stress and expense.

However, we understand that not every case can be resolved through agreement. If needed, we can represent you in the Federal Circuit and Family Court and ensure your interests are strongly protected.

Our team is with you every step of the way—whether that’s preparing documentation, attending mediation, or advocating for you in court.
