Why Divorce Rate in Australia is So High?


 

Before discussing the details of the divorce in Brisbane or anywhere in Australia. Let us discuss the term marriage. Marriage is known as a legal contract between two people. They are united due to this contract. They are together in all formats of life. Marriage also gives a happy sexual life. And about divorce, the ending of this contract is known as divorce. Divorce officially announces that these persons are no longer together. When one of the persons is not feeling comfortable with the other one, he can demand a divorce. Luckily the percentage of divorce rate in Australia has reduced.

No-fault divorce: 1975:

The divorce rate in Australia was very high before 75. It had to be reduced. In 1975 a law was passed it was named “no-fault divorce”. This law was introduced for the first time in Australia. In the first year of implementation, the divorce rate increased. Amendments were required in this family law. In 1976 there were some changes in the law to make it better.

It says that couples should be separated for at least 12 months before applying for a divorce.    

Now let’s discuss the details of the divorce rate in Australia.

What is the divorce rate in Australia?

In the 1960s and the 1970s, the divorce rate was very high. It was about 4.6 persons per 1000 residents. But it declined when the Family Law Act 1975 was passed. This law supported no-fault divorce. And reduced to just 1.9 till 2016. But it raised again in 2017 up to 2.0. Hence the divorce percentage in Australia has reduced.

Another reason for the decline of the divorce rate in Australia is late marriage or marriage between same-sex. Same-sex marriage is now legal in AustraliaIn the first 6 months of 2018, 99 percent of marriages were between same-sex.

Duration of marriage:

In Australia, 43 percent of divorced people were married for about 9 years.  And most of their age was between 25 to 30 years.

The average time between their separation is about 8.3 years. And they get divorced within 12 years. It indicates that half of the couples are married for less than 12 years and a half for a longer time. And there are some marriages which last till death.

There is a great chance of divorcing in the marriages of 20 years. In 1990 its percentage was 20 it increased to 28% in 2010. And it again gained peek in 2017 and raised to 27%. 

Have same-sex marriages affected the divorce rate in Australia?

After the changes in Marriage Act 1961 same-sex marriage is now legal. There were 3,149 same-sex weddings were registered in Australia till 30th June 2018. And they can also get divorced but not many divorces are reported from these couples.

What are the reasons behind divorces?

The marriage plays the part of the perfect bond between two persons. It is a very wise decision to make. The couples are usually very happy at the start of their marriage. So, what disturbs their relationship? Why do they have a divorce?

An Australian study reported that there is 71 percent of divorces blame “affective issues”. These affective issues are:

  • Problems of communication 27%
  • Lost connection 21%
  • Trust issues 20%

The other causes of divorce in Australia can be:

  • Abuse either physically or emotionally 7.4%
  • Abuse via drugs or alcohol 7.4%
  • Financial issues 4.7%
  • Work pressure 2.7%
  • Interference of family 0.6%
  • Health issues 4.7%

Tips for long term marriage:

We concluded the following points from the life of couples with long time marriages.

  • Respect is a great factor it should come from both sides.
  • Have complete trust in each other
  • Maintain happy physical/sexual relation
  • Have good communication skill to talk about any problem easily
  • Maintain equity
  • Support the decision made by partner
  • Be cooperative
  • Manage time for each other

When applied for the divorce, do I have to attend the court hearing?

It depends on some conditions. You may or may not have to attend the court hearing. Let’s have a look at them:

  •   If you don’t have any children under 18 years. Then you will not have to attend the court hearing it applies on both sides.
  •   If a joint application is applied then you will not have to attend the court hearing, even if you have children under 18 years.
  •   If a sole application is applied then you may have to attend the court hearing on having a child under 18 years.

 What is the procedure to get a divorce?

Getting a divorce is not the same anymore. That is the reason that the divorce rate in Australia has reduced. If you are thinking to get a divorce in Brisbane then Aylward Game can help you easily. Read the points below to get an idea about getting a divorce.

  • Live separate lives: Before applying for a job you must separate for at least 12 months. You can get back in touch without re-starting the 12 months for about 3 months. For instance, if you have lived separated for 4 months and again got together for 3 months you will only have to live 8 months separately to complete the 12 months.
  • You can live separately under one roof: You can share the same roof even when you are separated. The court will check if you are having sex, sharing meals, or sharing bank accounts. Your relatives should believe that you are separated.
  • Remarrying: Don’t think to remarry until the divorce is finalized. Don’t make quick plans. You can get married once the divorce is granted.
  • Property and children’s arrangement: The divorce will not resolve the property or children’s issue. You will have to file a separate case for this issue.
  • Married for less time: If you are married for a small time and still demanding a divorce. Then you should visit the family counselling. Get a certificate from them and submit it to the court.

How can Aylward Game help?

Though Australia’s divorce rate has declined some issues can demand a divorce. We can help you in many ways to solve the issue.

You should take our counselling sessions before making such an important decision. The court may also ask you to take counselling sessions. These sessions play a vital role in making a decision.

We follow the collaborative practice which is an alternative to litigation. 

Mediation is a good practice. In mediation, you and your partner discuss everything openly in the presence of a mediator. The mediator is neutral and points out the issue by hearing your discussion.

Australian Housing Market Could See a Historic Crash

Gold Coast Property Market


In 2015 award-winning film The Big Short, Steve Carell and Christian Bale star in a tale about the greed and systemic risk surrounding the US subprime housing bubble and how it led to one of the most painful housing crashes in history. Australian housing market is returning to something resembling normalcy in two big ways.


Using celebrities such as Margot Robbie and Selena Gomez to explain some of the more abstract concepts of finance and real-world examples such as an “exotic dancer” having five investment properties, the film painted a picture of American greed and regulatory failure. The American subprime lending bubble and the eventual housing crash has become a cautionary tale the world over. In the years since, Australians have often liked to comment on how we are different, whether it’s around a backyard BBQ or a high powered CEO addressing the media. But are we? It’s no secret that Australia has one of the highest levels of household debt in the world. In fact, as of the most recent comparable data, we have almost 50 per cent more debt than the Americans did during the absolute height of their pre-global financial crisis debt binge. But this is nothing new. Australians have carried more household debt than Americans for the past 20 years. However, with the advent of the coronavirus pandemic and more than five million people being supported by the government’s JobKeeper or JobSeeker programs, there are signs that the Aussie property market may be following the same trajectory as the Americans did during the GFC. PEXA, an E-conveyancing firm made up by the various privatised land registry offices, recently authored a report into the direction of housing prices in our two most populace states, New South Wales and Victoria. According to PEXA, from the start of the year until the end of September, housing prices in NSW are down 9 per cent and in Victoria, prices were down a whopping 14 per cent. Commercial property in NSW also fared extremely poorly, with prices down 14 per cent in the first nine months of the year. Price drops of up to 14 per cent paint a pretty concerning picture for the nation’s property market, but how does it compare with The Big Short’s housing crash? According to the preferred benchmark, the Case-Shiller National House Price index, in the first nine months of the American ‘Great Recession’, housing prices fell by 6.6 per cent. Put into contrast with the numbers provided by PEXA for property price falls in NSW and Victoria, the falls they are experiencing are disastrous. In NSW, prices are falling 37 per cent faster than America’s were when they were crashing in 2008. For Victoria, the numbers are even more concerning, with prices falling at more than double the rate of the US housing crash. For a nation like Australia that eats, sleeps and breathes property and property investment, these figures are practically blasphemous. Even with more than 3.5 million workers being supported by JobKeeper, hundreds of thousands of mortgages and business loans in deferral and unprecedented support from the Morrison government, PEXA’s data shows prices falling at an alarming rate.

But amid the storm clouds, a break in the weather may be looming on the horizon, if only for a little while. In September, housing prices in NSW showed a near 1 per cent gain for the month. However, PEXA’s report also warned that “scaling back labour market support would likely put further downward pressure on house price growth and housing activity in the medium term.” Before today, it’s likely you may not have heard of PEXA. But with the company processing 20,000 property transactions every week, it provides an extremely rich and comprehensive data source for Australian housing price data. However, where PEXA differs from other housing price data providers, is that it provides the median price for all transactions within a given period. It, therefore, provides a very broad overview of a state’s property market rather than the more targeted approach that takes into account significantly more variables, often down to the single property level. Whether PEXA or one of their other competitors provides the most accurate snapshot of a state’s property market is a question for the statisticians and market analysts. But it nonetheless has provided a great deal of food for thought for any and all interested in outcomes for the property market. If PEXA’s data is correct and NSW and Victoria’s property markets are falling significantly faster than American property during the Global Financial Crisis, then the Aussie property market may be at risk of a historic housing crash. With the conclusion of JobKeeper for its 3.5 million recipients still to come, along with the end of loan deferrals for hundreds of thousands of borrowers, it’s possible that without further intervention from the Morrison government, prices may continue to fall. Prime Minister Scott Morrison It’s important to keep in mind that the economic aspect of the coronavirus crisis was largely stopped in its tracks in much of the world, through the power of around tens of trillions of dollars in global stimulus. Now as that stimulus runs out and much of the Northern hemisphere heads back into some degree of lockdown due to the explosion in COVID cases, it’s possible we could see a perfect storm of international factors impacting our banks and property market in the months and years ahead. Whether high Aussie property prices will survive yet another global crisis relatively unscathed through the power of government and RBA intervention remains to be seen. But if PEXA’s warnings of housing prices declining further in the medium term prove to be accurate, it may only be the beginning of the pain for property owners.

In this current economic climate forecasting, the property market is challenging to say the least. With the likelihood of further government intervention to prevent price falls, it becomes even more problematic. Ultimately, if a convergence of global and domestic factors all come together to form a perfect storm for the property market, these existing price falls may only be the beginning of The Big Short of the Aussie housing market.

Baden Clay At The High Court | Criminal Law Brisbane

Baden Clay Case


It was widely-publicized that on 15 July 2014 Gerard Baden Clay was convicted by a Supreme Court jury of the murder of his wife, Allison Baden Clay.

On 8 December 2015, the Queensland Court of Appeal set aside the conviction of murder of Mr. Baden-Clay and substituted a conviction of manslaughter. (Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with the intent to kill or do grievous bodily harm, whereas manslaughter is every unlawful killing that is not murder. Manslaughter lacks the intent to kill).

The verdict was set aside as unreasonable as there was no specific evidence of intent, which at law leads to a finding of manslaughter. Paragraphs 38 and 39 of R v Baden-Clay [2015] QCA 265 encapsulates the Court of Appeal’s finding:

Unreasonable verdict

[38] The appellant accepted that it was open to the jury to be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that he had unlawfully killed his wife, but contended that they could not properly be satisfied of the necessary intent for murder. There were no injuries on the body of a kind to indicate an intent to kill or do grievous bodily harm. Nor was there any sign of blood or evidence of a cleanup in the house to suggest violence. There was no evidence at all that there had ever been any violence in the relationship between the couple. Nothing had changed in the appellant’s marriage to make him take the step of intentionally killing his wife. His business was under some financial pressure, but that pressure was no different in April from earlier in the year, and his creditors were not pressing for payment. There was no evidence of the circumstances in which the fingernail scratches were inflicted on the appellant; they were conceivably caused by his wife in an angry attack on him. If the appellant had lied about their cause, he might have done so in panic, knowing that he had caused the death, without necessarily having done so intentionally.

[39] A reasonably open hypothesis was that the appellant’s wife had attacked him, scratching his face. In endeavoring to make her stop he had killed her without intending to do so, with his conduct thereafter being attributable to panic. An argument by the respondent that the disposal of the body was capable of giving rise to an inference that it was done to conceal evidence of an intentional killing amounted to nothing more than speculation; there was no evidence that the deceased woman had sustained any injuries which could have indicated how she had died.

The Queensland DPP applied for and was granted special leave by the High Court of Australia on 12 May 2016.

The question for the High Court is whether to reinstate the murder conviction. There are seven (7) Justices on the High Court of Australia who are scheduled to hear this matter and determines this question in Brisbane on 26 July 2015.

The granting of special leave by its very name, and in practice, is rare indeed.

Think about it. Logistically, if every dissatisfied litigant, from every State and Territory of Australia, had a right of appeal to the High Court, the system would never stop. The finality of litigation is a prized virtue of our legal system. (Also Court hearing hours and judgment writing hours are a scarce resource in any Court, but particularly the High Court of Australia).

Special leave allows the Justices of the High Court to determine the cases they will hear. The grant of special leave turns on some of the following considerations:

  • Is there a question of law that is of public importance?
  • Are there a number of competing legal principles, leading to uncertainty, in relation to one area of law that needs to be determined?
  • Considerations with respect to the interests of the administration of justice.

Their Honours were obviously favorably disposed to these considerations and granted the DPP special leave to appeal. Mr. Baden-Clay was opposed to the granting of special leave.

At stake for Mr, Baden Clay is the length of his prison sentence.

The punishment for murder is life imprisonment with, as in Mr. Baden Clay’s case, a minimum of fifteen (15) year non-parole before being considered for parole.

On the other hand, the punishment for manslaughter is up to life imprisonment. Therefore, there is no minimum period to serve (other than as set by the Court).

In so far as Mr. Baden Clay is concerned, manslaughter is the preferable outcome and the non-parole periods tend to be less than fifteen (15) years. As a general guide only some recent manslaughter sentences have been:

  • R v McCusker [2015] QCA 179 – Six (6) years;
  • R v Skondin [2015] QCA 138 – Nine (9) years;
  • R v JV [2015] QCA 138 – Eight (8) years.

Therefore, will the High Court find the necessary intention to kill and re-instate the murder conviction? (There is a lack of medical evidence to support a finding of Grievous Bodily Harm and this limb of the test for murder is unlikely to loom large in the High Court deliberations).

Whatever the outcome, by the time this matter is finalized it would have been considered by the original trial judge, three (3) Queensland Court of Appeal Judges and the seven (7) High Court Justices. That is eleven (11) very senior judges.

What Are The Pros And Cons Of Vendor Finance?

 


What is Vendor finance?

A buyer may need a loan to purchase the house. There are different kinds of loans, like bank loans. But these loans require payment proof or a guarantor. It is not possible for people with a low pay rate. So, when a seller arranges money for the buyer, it is called vendor finance. This money is returned in instalments at specific intervals of time. Purchase vendor finance homes is a completely different method. We take a look at what it means and the pros and cons of Vendor finance.

It is advised to take expert advice before asking for vendor finance. As there are some risks in these kinds of loans. So, before signing any agreement, ask the experts. Aylward Game is one of the old vendor finance advising company. They can assist you in your property purchase.  

Risks of vendor finance?

You may look for vendor finance if you don’t fit on the merit of a bank loan or any other financial assistance. The vendor finance is often good, but it can be risky. For instance, these options are advertised just to attract a large number of buyers and to secure some quick sales. But it is wise to know some common risks before choosing this option. Vendor finance homes are not easy to purchase.  

In the recent era, vendor finance has criticized as a company We Buy Houses was banned by the Federal Court. As its representation was full of lies. These options are made to attract the audience who cannot even think of owning a house. These loans also have the same rules as of the other loans.

MS Pierce pointed to the common risks or challenges in vendor financing:

  1. There is confusion about who owns the property during the loan agreement. Who will be paying for the utility bills?
  2. These loans are of high amount. This loan is usually double the original amount of the property. So, they cannot recover what they have paid. They cannot even refinance with a bank.
  3. The agreement is to complicated. None of them has equal rights. The vendor enjoys more. The buyer never owns the property, and the vendor is never out of money.
  4. The consumer lacks protection, as well.

MS Pierce also included that the agreements are so complex that the buyer can never understand his benefits. He does not know how much will he have to pay in a long-term contract or what’s the condition of missing a payment. Their dirty tricks also unclear the buyer’s protection like the National Credit Code (NCC). There is no legal protection of buyers in these agreements.

 How does vendor finance work?

Vendor finance has many forms. Often the seller gives money to the buyer to start the transaction. Consumers can move to the property. To return the payment, monthly instalments are paid to the seller, who is not the rent.

In a vendor finance transaction, we can include the following points:

  1. Property price: This price can be different from the actual market price. The buyer pays the first deposit to start living on the property. This deposit is usually the loan from the seller.
  2. Contract: This contract is longer than the normal loans. It has some extra terms and conditions like the penalties if a buyer misses a payment. It is very different from the usual bank loans.
  3. Payment method: In payment, there is an interest rate of at least 2% and may also include insurance and maintenance.

Let’s have a look at a few points to end this vendor contract.

  • The consumer owns the house after the end of the instalments
  • The consumer can extend or replace the deal
  • The consumer can lose hope and leave the property. And all of the investment is lost.

The consumers are left in depression. Consumers cannot afford repayments. They are still not able to ask for a bank loan. The plans of the consumer may not have worked, and now he can’t continue. The vendor will own the property. This is one of the vendor finance old dirty trick.

The Pros And Cons Of Vendor Finance

Are there other names of vendor finance?

The name of the vendor finance varies on the type of agreement.

  1. The wrap-around loan also called money mortgage: In this loan, the buyer and the current owner lives under the same roof. The buyer will have to pay the utility bills with some interest, which is profit for the seller. This loan is known as private lending and is very much different from other laws. The loan wraps around only according to the seller’s mortgage. If the buyer is unable to pay, then they may lose their investment, and the vendor can repossess the property.
  2. Deposit finance: There can be a need for vendor finance for a home. This type of loan can get two loans for the buyer. Half of the payment is given by the vendor as a loan. The consumer will go to the bank to get the other half. The drawback is that the user will have to make bulky payments each month, one for the bank and another for the vendor. They can also go for the insurance implications; the penalties will arrive when false information is provided.
  3. Partially vendor financed: This is a bit simple than the others. The first half is paid by the bank loan, and the remaining is paid by vendor loan.
  4. License to occupy: The consumer will pay the half or a smaller deposit. The rest payment can be paid via instalments. He also pays the usual taxes and the fees of property purchases. A license will be generated for him to live in the house. As this is not rent, then there will be no tenancy laws. As the loan is private so you cannot involve consumer credit laws.
  5. Off-the -plan instalment plan: It is a risky contract as the buyers don’t have much rights or protection. There will be a non-refundable administrative fee, a deposit fee, and a very long instalment plan, for instance, 25 years.
  6. Work-in-lieu of payment: You can also call it “Sweet equity.” In this finance, the buyer repairs or fixes a portion of the property in replace of deposit or instalment, and the rest of the payment is paid by vendor finance.

Let’ know about rent-to-buy:

In this scheme, the buyer and the seller agree that the buyer will rent the house. How much they pay will be considered as the share in the property. But they will not be the official owner of the property until the paperwork is clear.  

Here is the working of this method:

  1. The broker shows the buyer a high priced property.
  2. The buyer will try to get a rent-to-buy house due to the high cost.
  3. A tenancy agreement is signed.
  4. There is an option for them to purchase the property after three or six years.
  5. A deposit fee is paid.
  6. The buyer will pay the rent and may also pay for the maintenance or utility bills.
  7. The instalments can include both the rent and the loan.

This is a simpler way of purchasing a house.

The Best Review Of Property Law Act In Queensland



Property defines a legal relationship between a sure thing and a person, the owner. In contrast, possession or owner means the actual property control,  who can deal directly with it. For example, a resident is regularly the rental property owner while the landlord remains the owner. In Property law act 1974, the so-called presumption of ownership applies to movable objects. It is rebuttable, assuming that the owner of a thing is also its owner. Liability under s179 of the Property Law Act (Qld) is strict.

Property is protected by the constitution, together with the right of inheritance of the Basic Law. In principle, an owner has the right to deal with his property at will. However, the content and limitations of property are regulated in numerous laws. For example, a property owner cannot develop or convert his property at will. Instead, he must observe public building law with planning law and building regulations or, for example, monument protection. In animal law, the owner of an animal must have rules on animal welfare and the animal welfare law note. The owner must also respect the resident’s right of ownership of the rented apartment and so, bound by a rental agreement, cannot exercise his right of ownership without restrictions.

Property ownership can be owned by one owner alone or by several people jointly as joint ownership. The so-called collective right applies to joint ownership. There are also special features when it comes to homeownership. In an apartment owners association, there is ownership of the individual apartments according to a division plan. Also,  there are regularly unique ownership relationships, such as personal property or joint property.

Property ownership is transferred to a new owner, for example, after a purchase or a gift. Ownership does not pass with the conclusion of a contract, such as a sales contract. The requirement for the so-called transfer of ownership is usually the agreement on the transfer of ownership between the old and the new owner and the handover of the thing. When buying land or a house, instead of handing over the property, it is entered in the land register. After the death of a person, inheritance law determines who, as the heir, becomes the new owner of the former property of the deceased, the so-called property.

Negotiating property contracts does not always go through the hands of a property lawyer. This work is usually carried out by property managers – from the point of view of the seller or lessor. But in large-scale operations, for builders or developers, it is or should be the norm. On the buyer or tenant side, this rarely happens. Individuals usually review their property contracts themselves. However, the legal profession has to be there if problems arise that are also considered severe. We talk about the claim about constructive defects or evictions. In these cases, the figure of the Queensland property lawyer can be crucial for a good outcome.

This branch of property law is aimed at the solemnity of operations. Those affected must know precisely the legal importance of a specific property agreement. One of the aspects that give meaning to the property law act is advertising: the Property Registry if we refer to the property’s purchase. In short, a property lawyer specializing in property law act must offer the best advice on registry issues. 

The most “conventional” work of the property lawyer is to do complete diligence to check all the legal (and technical) aspects related to the property. Its registration situation, its charges, limitations, the construction status, the construction’s stability, the urban condition, etc. When the sale of a  property is going to be carried out, the property lawyer must conduct his clients’ actions so that the acquisition is carried out with total legal certainty. However, in this sense, we can find situations that try to violate the law, either due to ignorance or to commit a crime. The role of the property lawyer must be a guide at all times so as not to violate the law.

Suppose you want to claim construction defects that violate the Technical Building Code. When this happens, it is usually problems that affect the habitability, security, or functionality of the home or premises. Many property lawyers will have lived, in these circumstances, and after communicating the complaint to those responsible.

In the lead of property, various situations may arise involving property lawyers Brisbane specialized in property law act QLD. Let’s look at a possible problem: income claims and other breaches derived from the lease. Or, a more particular case: when a home has several owners, some wanting to rent it and others not. It is not usually known that the lease is valid if you sign it, even if you are one of the co-owners. Even if it is not known that he is acting on behalf of the community, likewise, recalling the property law act here, any of the property owners can urge an eviction or terminate the lease.

And conclude this article, where we review the property lawyer’s work, we cannot forget property leasing. Within this property operation format, let’s stop at the curiosity of the capital gain in this kind of transaction. It should be remembered that the General Directorate of Taxes allows the buyer to claim if the bank affects the payment on him. However, the property leasing deed indicates that it will be the client who must assume this tax payment. These and other everyday matters of a real estate lawyer demonstrate the differential key that our work can suppose.

In the case of retention of title property,  property law acts when the buyer of an item only becomes the owner when he has paid the purchase price in full. Until then, he only has a so-called expectant right. As a result, the seller must transfer ownership of the purchased item after the purchase price has been paid in full. The expectancy, as a so-called “identical minus,” is less than the property itself, but at least means that the seller can no longer withdraw from the contract without reason.

There are also various particular forms of retention of title. Extended reservation of title, vast reservation of title, or forwarded reservation of title often occur. It is regularly a matter of the buyer, for example, a small commercial trader, allowing to resell or transfer ownership of the goods purchased from his supplier under retention of title, even though he is not yet the owner. From the purchase prices paid to him, the dealer then regularly pays his supplier’s statements.

When selling or buying property, litigation, and litigation can arise. If necessary, it is recommended to use the services of a  property lawyer. This property lawyers Gold Coast may be called upon for advice or as a defense lawyer in the event of legal recourse. The defendant may choose it. The fees of this lawyer are fixed with the client and depend on the difficulty of the case. They are determined in a lawyer’s fee agreement signed by both parties. 

As its name suggests, the property lawyer is a specialist in property law act. This lawyer must have a perfect mastery of the Construction and Housing Code. It is possible to find this lawyer online or with justice institutions. Like lawyers in foreigners’ law, lawyers in family law, or lawyers in labor law, this professional is established in different Brisbane areas.

The lawyer specializing in the property must master the elements of private and public property law and the property law act, and the Town Planning Code. Moreover, property law is a branch of law that deals with the sector relating to the property.
