Property Settlement Time Limits
There are time limits within which you must commence your family law property settlement. You can do your family law property settlement as quickly or as soon as you want after separation.
There is no minimum time period you have to wait to do a property settlement, although emotionally, parties usually need a little time to have elapsed since separation before they can properly consider property division.
A maximum time limit does apply. There must be an Application to the Court for property settlement filed in the appropriate Court within:-
If the time limit has expired you can make an Application to the Court for “leave to proceed” notwithstanding the expiration of the time limit.
