We are Australian family lawyers located in Melbourne, specialising in legal matters surrounding de facto relationships.
De facto relationships are dealt with under the Family Law Act 1975 as a result in changes to the law in which all states and territories with the exception of Western Australia passed their power in relation to dealing with the division of property between de factos to the Commonwealth Government. The changes to the law also mean that same sex relationships are dealt with within the act in precisely the same way as all other relationships.
