The manner in which people are structuring their finances is becoming increasingly more complex. Many assets available for distribution in a Family Law context are associated with Trusts and various entities. In addition to this, many officeholders including directors and appointors may be individuals who are not a party to the Family Law matter. This creates many complications in quantifying the assets available for distribution between the separating couple.

Significant taxation implications can arise in Family Law property matters, whether this be via selling an investment property, shares or due to a corporate structure in place.
