Separating couples often need to sort out the division of family ‘property’, which may include bank accounts, houses, superannuation, and mortgages. The Frankston Family Relationship Centre now provides Property Family Dispute Resolution services to assist separating couples to resolve their property issues so they can move on and live independently of each other.
