Major Family Law Changes Are Here - What They Mean for Your Property Settlement

From 10 June 2025, the way property settlements are handled under the Family Law Act has changed significantly — and if you're separating, these changes affect you.

Here’s what’s new:

• Courts must now consider the financial and economic effects of family violence

• Financial abuse, including coercive control or dowry-related issues, is now explicitly included

• The reforms apply to both court matters and out-of-court negotiations

At Gullickson Lawyers, our Brisbane and Sunshine Coast family law solicitors are at the forefront of these changes. We ensure your property rights are fully protected under the new law — and that nothing is left off the table.
