If you were in a same-sex relationship which ended on or after 1 March 2009, whether or not you are entitled to a property settlement depends upon your particular circumstances. If you were in a same-sex relationship for a period of two years, or if you were in a same-sex relationship and there is a child of your relationship, you may be entitled to a property settlement.
You might even have an entitlement to a property settlement if you were in a same-sex relationship for less than two years for example if you have made a substantial financial contribution or non-financial contribution in the relationship and a serious injustice would result if a property settlement was denied, or if your relationship was registered in a State or Territory which allows for such registration
