A de facto relationship is described as a relationship between 2 people (including same-sex relationships) who are not married but live together as a couple.
Australian Family Law recognises all relationships including married couples, de facto couples and same-sex couples. It also ensures that same-sex couples are entitled to financial, property, and parenting rights.
De facto and same-sex couples, save for a few limited circumstances, are recognised under the legal requirements and are dealt with in the same manner as married couples.
We can provide support and advice to our clients in any of these relationships including children and parenting matters, surrogacy matters, separation & divorce as well as financial settlements.
