In cases where a defacto relationship or marriage breaks up after a short duration like 2 years and children are involved, determining a fair distribution of assets can be complex. While the length of the relationship is relatively short, the presence of children adds an additional layer of consideration.

The allocation of assets should be based on fairness. The financial and non-financial contributions of each partner, the needs and welfare of the children, and each parent's potential future earning capacity are just a few of the crucial considerations. The standard of living experienced throughout the marriage and each parent's capacity to meet the requirements of the children should also be taken into account.

It may be necessary to prioritize the primary caregiver's ability to provide for the children's well-being, while also ensuring that the other partner is not unfairly burdened. This could involve providing financial support to the primary caregiver and considering a fair distribution of joint assets based on the contributions made by both partners during the relationship.
