De Facto Lawyer Noble Park

A de facto relationship is legally recognised when two people live together on a genuine domestic basis, whether in a same-sex or opposite-sex partnership. This recognition applies even if one partner remains married to someone else. Since the 2009 changes to the Family Law Act, de facto couples are entitled to similar legal rights as married couples when it comes to separation, property settlement, spousal maintenance, and arrangements for children.

At Just Family Law, our de facto lawyers assist clients in Noble Park with practical legal advice built on more than 25 years of family law experience. Whether you are ending a long-term relationship or navigating a shorter partnership involving shared assets or parenting responsibilities, we tailor our guidance to suit your specific situation and goals.

To determine whether a de facto relationship exists, you must show that you lived together on a domestic basis and meet at least one of the following criteria:

• The relationship lasted at least two years
• You have a child together
• You made significant financial or non-financial contributions that would result in injustice if unrecognised
• You formally registered the relationship
• One party would suffer hardship if the court did not make an order

If you are looking for a reliable de facto lawyer in Noble Park, our team can assist with matters including property division, parenting arrangements, superannuation splitting, and financial support. We work closely with you to understand your circumstances and recommend a clear, legally sound path forward. Whether your matter is amicable or requires firm legal intervention, we are committed to protecting your interests.

As experienced family law lawyers, we understand the emotional and legal complexity that often surrounds the breakdown of a de facto relationship. Many people are unsure where they stand legally or how to begin the process. Our role is to help you make confident, informed decisions and move forward with greater clarity and peace of mind.

    I highly recommend Sally O'Connor and Just Family Law.
    Our circumstances in engaging JFL were due to the sudden and tragic passing of my sister. Sally assisted our family through complex legal proceedings as we sought full parental responsibilities for her three children, my nieces and nephew.
    Sally was able to shift from holding my hand and passing tissues, to providing practical solutions, advice and guidance on how best to navigate the legal system and achieve what was in the best interest of the kids.
    Thank you Sally, we will never be able to express how much you did for us and how your counsel and friendship helped us navigate an incredibly difficult time.
    No hesitation at all in recommending Sally, and the JFL team.

    A barrister pointed me to them saying they were good for other referrals and I'm so happy I did engage them. I've heard horror stories but Sally and David were great. Not exactly cheap but seemed priceless. I recommend.

    I recently engaged Just Family Law to assist with the preparation of a Binding Financial Agreement and could not have been happier with the advice and service I received. From reception to solicitors to assistants they were approachable, compassionate, knowledgable and expert in family law issues. I highly recommend
