On this page:

    Part VIII of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cwlth) (FLA) provides that certain matrimonial instruments may be exempt from duty where entitlement to property is conferred within a maintenance agreement.. Section 90 of the FLA exempts transactions that are executed in accordance with a court order, agreement, deed or other instrument made under this part of the Act.

    If more than one property is being transferred under the court order (resulting in multiple transfers), each transfer must be assessed separately.
