When a relationship is over, there is often a tussle between the emotional and the legal. You know when your relationship is over, but how does the family court determine the ending of a de facto relationship, for the purposes of a financial settlement?

In this episode, we talk all things de facto, how it differs from a marriage (legally speaking), and what separating couples need to consider in order for the Court to recognise the end of their relationship.

For more on Fairbairn v Radecki, please see our article: "How does the Court determine the breakdown of a de facto relationship. "
