De facto law — state based
In the event that the relationship does not satisfy the “gateway” or other requirements of the Family Law Act, then the law applicable to that relationship will be state or territory based.
For a consideration of the state and territory based laws relating to de facto relationships not covered by the Family Law Act, see De facto law — state based.
