The recent snap COVID-19 lockdowns have been stark reminders of how quickly things can change and of the impact COVID-19 continues to have on families and the economy.
 
Recent changes to insolvency provisions for small business, the looming cut-off of state and federal government stimulus support measures such as JobKeeper and rent concessions, and a return to ATO audit and debt recovery activities may have a negative flow-on effect for parties negotiating family law property settlements.
 
COVID-19 has not been all doom and gloom and many businesses have, and continue to, report record profits, so having access to a team who understand the impact of the various stimulus measures on financial disclosure, business valuations, tax liabilities, and the personal wealth of parties (including financial planning and bankruptcy aspects) is invaluable.
 
The Family Law team at RSM have some exciting webinars planned over the coming months that will touch on some of these issues, so if you are not already on the mailing list for our webinar invites, reach out to one of the team and we will ensure you don’t miss out!
 
In the meantime, we hope you find the information our team have put together in this edition of the Family Law Insider interesting and valuable. Happy reading!!
