What is a De Facto Relationship?

Have you ever wondered what counts as a de facto relationship? Proving a de facto relationship in Australia is essential for various legal purposes, including property settlements, spousal maintenance, and other family law matters. A de facto relationship is defined under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) as a relationship between two people who are not married to each other but live together on a genuine domestic basis.
