Divorce
Divorce is the legal end of a marriage. Australia has a ‘no fault’ divorce system, which means the court does not consider the reason/s that ended the marriage. Eligibility for divorce requires an irrevocable breakdown of the marriage with no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. This is proven by the parties having separated for at least 12 months.
An application for divorce must be filed with the Federal Circuit Court and Family Court of Australia. Separation can be a difficult time and complying with the court’s requirements can be daunting. We can assist to prepare and file your divorce application, arrange for service on the other party and appear at the court hearing, if required.
