Going through a divorce or separation is a difficult and
emotionally draining process and is rarely straight forward.
While it's quite natural to take the time to process
everything, there can be pressure on parties to a separation to
deal with the major details of a property settlement, which will
involve the difficult decision of dividing assets, and varied
liabilities between both separating parties in a specific time
frame.
Many couples going through a separation may not be aware that
there are strict time limitations, these can be especially
difficult to keep track of when going through a very stressful time
with so many moving parts of the settlement proceedings.
If you don't make a property settlement claim in a timely
manner, you may not be able to get the property and assets
you're entitled to.
