De Facto or Marital Separation Agreement and property settlementSeparating from a long-term partner whether you are married or in a de facto relationship can be an emotionally draining and a financially devastating time. Often coming at the end of a long and difficult process, the decision to leave is not usually an easy one, especially if children are involved. Married couples who no longer wish to live together as husband and wife but who are not divorced are classed as being separated as are 'de facto' couples who no longer live together. |
Recent amendments to the Family Law Act which came into effect on 1st March 2009 now give de facto couples (inc same sex couples) the same access to the law as married couples have had since 1975. So now entitlements fall under these laws.

Separation Extra Information.
'According to the 2006-07 Family Characteristics and Transitions Survey, 84% of adults had had at least one marriage or de facto relationship. For those aged under 35 years, women were more likely to have had a partner than men (66% and 55% respectively). For people aged 35 years or over 95% had had at least one marriage or de facto relationship. This included 18% who had two relationships and 7% who had three or more. Although men aged 35 years or over were slightly less likely than women to have ever been in a relationship (94% of men compared with 96% of women) they were more likely to have had three or more relationships (8.4% compared with 4.8% for women)'.
With theses statistics showing a lot of people have had more than one defacto type relationship, it stands to reason that a lot of people have had more than one separation.
So if you are in a group of 10 people; 2 or 3 will have had 2 or 3 de facto separation, 1 or 2 will have had 3 or more de facto separation, and the scary bit is that 5 will be heading for there first de facto separation.
