Family Law Property Settlements – Fraud, Tax Evasion, Bankruptcy and Family Violence

Learn what types of bad behaviour might affect property settlement outcomes and what options are available for the innocent party.

Bad behaviour by separating couples is all too common. Fraud, tax evasion, bankruptcy, family violence, failure to disclose financial circumstances and other bad behaviour can result in negative outcomes for the recalcitrant party. 

Actual cases which have been dealt with by the court will be used to illustrate the nature of bad behaviour which might impact property settlement outcomes and how it impacts. 

Considering the impact of family violence, debt, financial and economic abuse and wastage is particularly timely as there is draft legislation which, if passed, will require the courts to consider these matters.

Learning Outcomes:

Attendees will gain an understanding of:

• The behaviour which the courts expect of parties
• The circumstances where poor conduct by a party can reduce their property settlement entitlements
• The consequences of bad behaviour
• Proposed reforms to increase the property settlement entitlements of victims of family violence and require debt, financial and economic abuse and wastage to be taken into account
