The law has changed. From 1 March 2009, if you were in a defacto (including same-sex) relationship you are now able to use the
Family Law Act to settle your property dispute.
Current defacto partners are also able to register their relationship with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages, under a new Victorian law, the Relationships Act 2008.
If you are likely to be involved in a court proceedings or in a legal dispute, you should get advice from a family law lawyer.
