Why Choosing the Right Property Settlement Lawyer Matters After Divorce
When it comes to navigating the emotional and financial challenges of a separation or divorce, securing the right property settlement lawyer is one of the most crucial decisions you can make. At Aylward Game Solicitors incorporating Family Law Brisbane, we understand how complex and sensitive these matters can be, especially when your future financial security is at stake. Our dedicated team, led by Accredited Family Law Specialist Ian Field, is here to guide you with empathy, precision, and decades of legal expertise.
What is Property Settlement in Family Law?
Property settlement refers to the legal division of property, assets, liabilities, and financial resources between separating couples. Whether you are married or in a de facto relationship, a fair and legally binding property settlement ensures a clean financial break and the best chance for a stable future.
The process typically involves:
- Identifying and valuing all assets and debts
- Considering financial and non-financial contributions by both parties
- Assessing future needs (e.g. income earning potential, health, children)
- Arriving at a just and equitable division
An experienced property settlement lawyer ensures that your entitlements are protected and that the process is conducted in accordance with Australian Family Law.

Property settlements can quickly become complex, especially when there are shared businesses, superannuation entitlements, overseas assets, or inherited property. Working with specialist property settlement lawyers like those at Aylward Game Solicitors means you have access to a team that:
- Has deep knowledge of the Family Law Act and relevant precedents
- Regularly appears in the Family Court and Federal Circuit Court

FAQs About Property Settlement Lawyers
How long does a property settlement take after separation?
Property settlements can take anywhere from a few weeks to over a year, depending on the complexity of your assets and the level of cooperation between parties. Engaging early with an experienced property settlement lawyer can significantly reduce delays.
Do I need to go to court for a property settlement?
Not necessarily. Many settlements are resolved through negotiation or mediation without court proceedings. Our team at Aylward Game Solicitors strives to resolve matters amicably and cost-effectively where possible.
What if my ex-partner doesn’t disclose all their assets?
Failure to disclose assets is a serious breach of family law obligations. We can assist with discovery and apply to the court to ensure full financial disclosure is made.
Is there a time limit to apply for property settlement?
Yes. For married couples, you must apply within 12 months of your divorce becoming final. For de facto couples, the limit is two years from the date of separation. We recommend seeking advice as soon as possible.
What is the cost of hiring a property settlement lawyer?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case. At Aylward Game Solicitors, we offer transparent pricing and work with you to create a plan that fits your needs and budget.
