    Hi Mooki
    Tuart Hill would be a great area to invest in for a number of reasons:

    Close to city and shopping centres
    Has lots of schools (private & public)
    Good transport and facilities in general

    Last stats (May) recorded median price at $299,000, neighbouring suburbs, ie Yokine, Joondanna are substantially higher. I would say that Tuart Hill probably represents good value at present.

    I would be aiming to purchase house on large block and sub-divide/develop in the next property cycle.

    If this is the way you are going make sure you contact local Council (Stirling?) to establish zoning.

    Good Luck. M

    Thanks Marisa. I’ve actually just bought my first place in Tuart Hill recently :P I bought when I was 19 so couldn’t really afford a house which is unfortunate because there are so many big blocks around this area..

    I managed to get a decent villa/unit which I hope does me well.

    thanks for the info

    Interesting comments Mooki. As a divorced father, I have to say the Family Court of NSW is a place to avoid at all costs. There may be a lot of deadbeat dads out there but unfortunately, the ones who actually try and do the right thing get tarred with the same brush. Same goes for the CSA unfortunately. They are there for a reason but both can and are exploited by manipulative parties, both male and feamale.

    I agree jhopper, Family Courts is the last place you want to end up. It’s a horrible place and creates more hatred and manipulation. It should only be used if mediation and counselling don’t resolve the issues.

    Sorry, just had dealings with the Family Court and am pretty pissed with the whole system….

    It’s okay.. I’ve had pens, books, food, etc thrown at me whilst working there. I don’t make the rules so I don’t take it personally. [exhappy]

    I used to work at the Family Court.. you should definately speak to a good lawyer if you are really concerned, it will be worth it in the long run.

    Go to http://www.familycourt.gov.au/presence/connect/www/home/guide/before/property/step_before_property_case

    It has the basics on property issues.. however it does not cover WA, which is a totally seperate jurisdiction to the rest of the country, so for info on WA laws go to http://www.familycourt.wa.gov.au

    (i.e. defacto property issues in VIC, NSW, etc would be dealt with via a State court however, from memory (i could be wrong), defacto property issues in WA are still dealt with in the Family Court unless seperation occured before 1999? and then it would be dealt with at the Supreme Court).

    Anyway, the websites will have links on how to locate lawyers specialising in family law.

    It is true though, prenups barely hold up in Court (at least the Family Court) especially when there are children involved and ex’s can get hold of your super.

    You could, like munjy said, put your assets in different names, which is how <edited> fathers out there show that they have no income, and therefore don’t have to pay child support… [angry2]

    But that would be too much work.. so speak to a good lawyer. [happy3]

    I bought my first property about 5 weeks ago (I’m 19).

    My brother is devilcv8, (well at least I think he is, is that u ?) and he pretty much inspired me to get into the property market.

    I get to learn from his mistakes and he gives me advice whenever I need it..

    I couldn’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing. My friends think I’m crazy, but what do they know.. they’re still bitching about having to live at home or rent
