Expensive affairs
Extramarital affairs could really cost you, with new Australian laws set to allow former lovers to get money from their ex-partners through the courts.
CANBERRA: Extramarital affairs could really cost you, with new Australian laws set to allow former lovers to get money from their ex-partners through the courts.
New changes in the Family Law Act will grant de facto partners, who have been together for two years, the same rights as married couples when seeking spousal maintenance, the Sydney Morning Herald said.
But a de facto relationship can be widely interpreted, legal experts were quoted as saying. The Act states that such a relationship can exist even if one of the partners is legally married or in another de facto relationship.
Family lawyers warn that a de facto relationship might exist even if the parties do not think it does.
