Converting PPOR to Trust psot divorce question

Your best courses of action to "protect" your assets from the family court are:

1. Don't get married or enter into a de facto relationship for more than 2 years.

2. Burn or dump all your assets and quit your job. Permanently disable your earning capacity as well.

3. Marry or enter into a relationship with someone with more assets and/or financial resources than you.

4. Don't carry on a relationship in way where you encourage your partner to handicap his or her earning capacity for the sake of the relationship.

5. Understand the factors that the family court look at when determining a fair and equitable division of assets, so you understand what your liability is.

...in that order.

Seriously, there's not really much that can be done for most people to "protect" their assets. The laws are there so that people can't just elect to have their cake and eat it too. See point 4 especially.

What about choosing not to cohabit but to live next door to one another?
