Dividing the Assets in the Property Pool – a family law Power Pair of recorded webinars

This Power Pair comprises 2 popular family law webinars from late last year covering the division of assets.  Each recorded webinar is one hour in length.

Webinar 1: Untying the Knot: Validity and Enforcement of Financial Agreements

Financial agreements play a pivotal role in determining the division of assets and financial responsibilities between parties, offering a degree of certainty and security. However, their validity and enforceability may be subject to attack if certain legal requirements are not met. This session explores various strategies for challenging the validity of financial agreements, as well as essential drafting techniques to enhance their enforceability and safeguard the interests of parties involved. It covers:

• Key considerations and best practices to maximise  the validity, enforceability and longevity of agreements
• Identifying potential vulnerabilities: common grounds for attacking the validity of financial agreements, including:
  • technical flaws
  • Duress and unconscionable conduct
  • Adequacy of disclosure
  • Contractual and equitable flaws
• Lessons from recent cases
• Tips and common traps

Webinar 2: From Erosion to Springboards: The Assessment of Initial Contributions in Family Law Property Settlements

The approach of the Court to the assessment of initial contributions and the weight that ought to be properly placed on initial contributions at trial has changed over time. From early arguments of erosion to later discussion of springboards – the language employed when discussing how the Court should assess initial contributions is vital, as use of an incorrect term could arguably lead the court into error. To assist practitioners, this session will explore:

• The arguments surrounding the appropriate assessment of initial contributions in property settlement matters
• The current views within the profession as to the ‘erosion’ and ‘springboard’ arguments and the preferred approach to assessing the relevance of the impact of time to initial contributions
• The scenarios in which a just and equitable outcome may arguably call for an assessment of initial contributions that merits ‘special’ recognition
