De Facto Relationships and Your Legal Rights
A de facto relationship can be defined in a number of ways and can exist in a number of circumstances.
Contrary to common belief, living together for two years is not always necessary to establish a de facto relationship. The Court can look at several factors to establish that a de facto relationship did exist. What classifies as a de facto relationship may vary from couple to couple.
Understanding whether you are in a de facto relationship is a crucial aspect of family law matters, particularly when it comes to property settlement rights. Your relationship status plays a key role in determining your entitlements and obligations.
