Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

Brendan and Rachel were very easy to work with, personable, easy-going and thoroughly professional. My consent order was very complicated however Brendan and Rachel were there to take me through each step along the way. Every step was described clearly and the process went absolutely smoothly and efficiently as possible. They were available for any questions by emails, text message and phone calls 7 days a week, which made the process of preparing Consent Orders as efficient as it can be. As tough as it could be during the most challenging times in most people live, they were there to support and ensure that everything is fine and. Their knowledge, understanding and support is impeccable. So professional yet down to earth. Highly recommended. I can’t thank them enough for the great work they have done for my family.

If I had to do it again, I know where to find them.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness, Value

I stumbled across Kate Austin Family Lawyers via google. As my wife and I just needed to get our financial and superannuation matters finalised it was a no brainer to go with a firm that offered this type of service. I cannot recommend them highly enough, communication was very efficient and our consent orders were completed in a very short time. I highly recommend this business to anyone going through separation.

Stamp Duty Exemptions for Consent Orders Qld

Matrimonial exemptions

You may be able to claim an exemption from transfer duty for transactions involving

  • the Family Law Act 1975 (Cwlth

Family Law Act

Eligibility

You don’t pay transfer duty on transactions that give effect to a court order or financial agreement made under sections 90, 90L or 90WA of the Family Law Act.

The sealed court order or financial agreement must:

  • be a valid order or agreement
  • pre-date the transaction
  • specify the property being transferred
  • clearly state who the property is to be transferred to.

Court orders must be made under the provisions of Part VIII of the Family Law Act. Financial agreements must be made under the provisions of Part VIIIA or Part VIIIAB of the Family Law Act, as applicable. An order or agreement made under another jurisdiction is not exempt under these provisions.

Example

A husband and wife who are divorcing own an investment property. Consent orders are made in the Federal Court of Australia, under Part VIII of the Family Law Act, for a property settlement between the husband and the wife.

Under the terms of the consent order, the wife transfers her share of the property to the husband’s trustee company.

The instrument (document) transferring the wife’s interest in the property to the husband’s trustee company is exempt from duty under section 90(1)(a) of the Family Law Act.

If you wish to discuss stamp duty exemptions with your Consent Orders in Qld please contact us top discuss your agreement.

Superannuation Splitting with Consent Orders Qlg

When a marriage or de facto relationship breaks down property can be divided between the parties with the use of Consent Orders

Superannuation is treated as property under the Family Law Act 1975 but it differs from other types of property because it is held in a trust.

Superannuation splitting laws allow superannuation to be divided when a relationship breaks down.

Please contact us to discuss how superannuation interests can be split when couples divide their property after a relationship breakdown.

Superannuation can be split either by:

  • an order of the Family Court or Federal Magistrate Court- (Consent Order)
    or
  • a superannuation agreement (a financial agreement that deals with a superannuation interest).

Part VIIIB of the Family Law Act 1975– external site gives a court the power to deal with superannuation interests of spouses (including de facto spouses).

It also:

  • provides the framework for a court to make orders to distribute superannuation interests of the parties
  • covers superannuation agreements.

The Family Law (Superannuation) Regulations 2001– external site set out:

  • the methods of valuing superannuation interests
  • the way in which the payment split is to be put into effect
  • the information that the trustees have to provide.

Superannuation Splitting Orders are quite complex – If you are looking to undertake this process please contact our office to discuss the process. We will advise how best to use your Consent Orders QLD to achieve your outcome.
