You can resolve your property or child issues by applying to the court. If you are in Western Australia then you can apply to the Family Court of Western Australia. If you are in any other state apply in Family court or Federal Circuit Court. nnTo apply in any court you should first meet the definition of a de facto relationship. You must be in a two years relationship or you should have a child. nnAfter your application is accepted then your case will be treated similarly to a married couple.
