That's right.
And perhaps I should also say at this stage, we also have to take into account debt because for some relationships and for some people, unfortunately, the debt is higher than the asset.
And so debt is taken into account as well.
That's right.
So you only need to get divorced if you've actually got married.
But the good thing in Australia is that family law applies the same basically all around Australia.
There are some small differences in Western Australia because the court over there is a state-based court, but it applies national law.
But so it doesn't really matter where you are, where you're hearing this, you know, in each state or territory, the law is the same.
And so that's a really good thing because, of course, it gets confusing when laws change from state to state.
So if you're married, then you need to get a divorce.
And if you get a divorce, you've only got 12 months after your divorce to apply to the court for orders in relation to property settlement.
So it's not something you can just sort of let drag on forever.
You really do need to sort of really watch your timeframes.
If you haven't been married, but you've been de facto, then the timeframe, it doesn't run like that because there's no need for a divorce.
But my recommendation is that you do get onto things quickly.
because it gets much more difficult to sort out property the longer it is after your separation.
Absolutely.
And you should do that.
And there are really good websites.
The first place is you can go to the family court because that website does define divorce.
