A property settlement can be reached at any time after separation. However, it’s advisable to settle your property as soon as possible to track and divide assets fairly, and avoiding complications.

If a binding financial agreement is not executed, all future assets could be considered shared assets, and the court could make an order regarding their division in the future. To avoid this risk, contact our lawyers today.

If you suspect the other party is hiding assets or not willing to split assets or transfer money, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

We can help you uncover any hidden assets and ensure that all assets are considered in the property settlement process and negotiate with the other party to reach a reasonable resolution. If the other party is unwilling to negotiate, your lawyer can assist you in pursuing legal action.

Not all property settlements require court intervention. Many couples are able to reach a property settlement agreement through negotiation, mediation, or through the use of a binding financial agreement. However, in some cases, court intervention may be necessary if the parties are unable to reach an agreement. Seek legal advice to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
