Frequently Asked Questions
Since March 2009, Australian law has granted same-sex couples the same legal rights as married and de facto opposite-sex couples under the Family Law Act.
This means that if you separate, you have the same entitlements to pursue property settlements, establish parenting arrangements, and apply for child support assessments through the Child Support Agency as any other couple.
The Court considers several factors when determining whether a same-sex couple qualifies as a de facto relationship under the law, including:
- The duration of the relationship
- The nature and extent of common residence of the parties
- Whether a sexual relationship exists
- The degree of financial dependency or interdependency and any arrangements for financial support
- Ownership used in acquisition of the property of the parties
- Whether there are any children to the relationship
- The reputation and public aspects of the parties relationship.
