If you have not resolved your property settlement, or commenced a court proceeding seeking a property settlement and it is more than two years since your separation you will not be entitled to pursue a property settlement unless you first obtain the permission of the court. Permission from the court to proceed with a property settlement after two years from your separation will not always be granted. You need to have very good reasons to obtain the court’s permission to proceed with a property settlement after the expiry of the time limit.
