NSW Property Settlement AVO and Three Children

[jaxemjay]

I am a mother to three children aged 10,9 and 1. Father has AVDO on him with children named. 5 charges against father going through court at the moment.
We have a mortgaged family home (mother and children living in currently) approx $350000 equity and a investment unit approx $80000 equity. I just want property settlement ASAP. Don’t have money for lawyers and wondering what I could be looking at getting in settlement? Not much else in assets.

What about superanuation?

What is your income?
What is his?

Any inheritances?
How long having you lived together?

Look the more detail the better the advice.

You're asking us to pluck a figure? Based on the info provide I'd suggest you want to angle at about 60%.

My advice is based on my experience. So my ex sent a proposal for asset division via a very expensive law firm. She wanted 105%. Yep... I know.... She fought tooth and nail. Did everything to stop me seeing the kids to try to maximise her piece of the pie. Nearly 2 yrs of madness and in the end she got about 40% of the assets. I got about 30% of the assets... H'mm that doesn't add up does it? Oh right. Yep that other 30%? Where did that go? It went to solicitors and we never even saw the inside of the family law courts.

So sure, you could probably get more than that in court but you're gonna go through a hell of a lot of emotional trumiol and money to get it.
