De facto relationship and law.
A de facto relationship is defined in Section 4AA of the Family Law Act 1975. You and your former partner requires this law, who may be of the same or opposite sexual category, had a relationship as a couple living together on a genuine domestic basis. However, your relationship is not a de facto relationship if you were officially married to one another or if you are connected by family.
From 1 March 2009, parties to an eligible de facto relationship which has broken down can apply to the Family Court or the Federal Magistrates Court to have financial matters determined in the same way as married couples.
You must apply for de facto financial orders within two years of the breakdown of your relationship. After this time you need the Court's permission to apply.
