When parties separate, a very common question is, who moves out of the family home? Another common question is, my friends have told me I need to stay in the house, is that true?
In reality, nobody actually has to move out of the family home for separation to have occurred. It is entirely possible to be separated and living under the one roof and this is quite a common occurrence. Sometimes it is not possible for one party to move out of the family home because of a variety of reasons, financial reasons being prime among them. You generally cannot force the other party to move out, nor can the other party force you to move out – this is so even if one party solely owns the family home.

There’s good news for investors nervous about purchasing property ‘off-the-plan’. Recent changes to NSW property laws will make it harder for unscrupulous developers to back out of off-the-plan contracts for residential property.
What are off-the-plan contracts?
An off-the-plan contract is a contract to buy a property which has not yet been created. That property may be vacant land to be created on registration of a plan of subdivision (e.g., the Shearwater Landing development at Greenhills Beach), an apartment to be constructed and created on registration of a strata plan (eg. the Woolooware Bay apartments) or anything in between.
Australians are known to love property as an investment vehicle. Generally this has been achieved by borrowing from a bank to purchase property before paying it off over time. Since 2007 self managed superannuation funds (SMSF) have been allowed to borrow money to acquire property, which has seen a large increase in the amount of SMSFs and the amount of property owned by SMSFs.
What is a SMSF?
A SMSF is a superannuation fund that has four (4) or fewer members and is an alternative to retail and employer sponsored superannuation funds. In a SMSF, the members (who are subject to strict rules) have control over the superannuation fund, its investments and decisions.
1. Look after your future self
Superannuation is a way to save for your retirement. When you are a Contractor or Self-Employed, Superannuation is essentially your own obligation. There is no employer squirrelling away your 9.5% for you every pay run. Treat yourself as an employee and put Super away each year to ensure you can live comfortably in retirement.
