===How are property and debt divided?===
Spouses can make agreements and the court can make orders about how property and debt should be divided. Only the Supreme Court can make orders about the division of property and debt, with the exception of pets which are called ''companion animals''.
Note that agreements and orders about debt made under the ''[[Family Law Act]]'' are only binding between spouses. They don’t affect the rights of creditors or the steps creditors can take to collect on a debt.
