Where do you start when there's property involved?

No one wants to think that their marriage will end, but in Australia today, around one in three marriages ends in divorce. And it often happens when couples hit their late 40's and early 50's. This can severely impact financial independence in retirement causing disputes over the family home and other property and leaving insufficient savings for the parties to live two separate lives.

Aside from being one of the most stressful events in a person's life, it can have a significant financial impact on quality of life - especially for women.
