Divorce
Divorce made clear and manageable
Guidance through each step of the process.
To legally end your marriage, you must apply to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for a divorce order.
We guide you through each stage of the process, whether you are applying jointly or individually, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations throughout. Our focus is on making the process as straightforward and efficient as possible during what can be a difficult time.
What is the divorce process?
- Separation for at least 12 months and 1 day
- Filing a divorce application
- The Court being satisfied the marriage has broken down irretrievably
- Arrangements being in place for any children under 18
- Attendance at a court hearing (if required)
