You can apply to the Family Court or Federal Magistrates Court for orders for property settlement and this may be done at any time. However, the Family Law Act sets a time restriction of 12 months after your divorce for you to apply for a property settlement.
It is desirable for separating couples to try and reach agreement regarding the division of their assets. The rules adopted by the Judges of the Family Court require parties to make a genuine effort to reach agreement, and parties are required to exchange relevant information and attempt to reach an agreement before commencing court proceedings.
Whether or not agreement can be reached, the rules governing the division of assets are complex, and you should seek legal advice before making a final decision.
