Divorce

We are specialist Family Lawyers.

Divorce is a separate application from your property settlement and parenting matters. Before filing your divorce application, we recommend that you contact us for guidance.

A divorce requires a court application and does not include court orders for property or children’s matters. Meaning, if you currently have proceedings in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for parenting and/or property, a divorce application cannot be dealt with during those proceedings.

The divorce application itself is dealt with by another judicial officer (usually a registrar) in proceedings, which run independently of the substantive issues. You cannot apply for a divorce until you have been separated for twelve months, which is one reason the application is dealt with separately.

We recommend that most clients file their own Divorce Application to save in legal fees. However, we know that this process might be overwhelming and that is why we’re here – to offer guidance and assistance.

Contact us for a chat, we’re here to address any queries you may have and can send you the relevant information at no cost.
