What is a De Facto Relationship?
The term “De Facto Relationship” refers to a genuine domestic relationship between unrelated people.
A birth, death, or marriage is registered with the appropriate registry.
Unlike a marriage, a De Facto Relationship does not require a marriage certificate to prove the commitment of two people.
De Facto relationships, however, are registered with a certificate.
In the eyes of the law, a De Facto Relationship is one step above an ordinary relationship because it is treated almost as a marriage would be. The registration of De Facto Relationships is not allowed for married couples.
Why Would You Register Yourself As In A De Facto Relationship?
Those registering as De Facto Relationships have the same rights as married couples, including property settlements, spousal maintenance, parenting orders, and child support if the relationship ends.
What Is The Disadvantage Of Being In A De Facto Relationship?
In contrast to a marriage, a De Facto Relationship has some disadvantages.
De Facto couples must prove they were in a genuine domestic relationship regarding property settlements, spousal maintenance, and parenting orders.
- At least two years had passed since they were in a relationship
- As a result of the relationship, a child was born
- In a state or territory, the relationship was registered
- One party made significant contributions, and it would be unfair not to award property.
- Married couples seeking orders after separation or divorce are not subject to these gateway requirements.
De facto partners can apply to the court for orders regarding parenting or property within the same time frame as married couples.
Separated couples have up to 2 years after their separation date, and married couples have up to 1 year after their divorce is finalized.
