Divorce

Divorce

To new beginnings

In Australia, divorce operates on a no-fault basis. This means that the Court will not consider why your marriage broke down. As long as you or your spouse can meet the courts’ jurisdictional requirements, have been married for more than 2 years, separated for 12 months, and your marriage has irretrievably broken down, you can apply for divorce in Australia. If you have children under 18 years, the Court will also need to be satisfied that proper arrangements have been made for their care.

Applying for a divorce online can be complicated, requiring legal jargon and technical expertise. Added to that, the process can become complex where the following circumstances occur:

  • Where you are unable to locate your spouse
  • Where your spouse may avoid the service of divorce papers.
  • Where the arrangements for any children are inadequate
  • Where there is a dispute as to the date of separation
  • If you have lived or have personal or financial assets in another county. In such circumstances, you may have a choice of where to divorce. It’s essential to seek urgent legal advice before applying for divorce because your choice of jurisdiction could have significant implications for your property settlement.
