Divorce Facts
1: Married couples can apply for a divorce once the parties have been separated for a period of 12 months. However, you can restart the relationship once for a 3 month period without disrupting the 12 month separation.
2: Divorce does not finalise parenting or property matters. These matters require a separate application. Once a divorce takes effect, you have 12 months to issue property proceedings.
3: If there are children under the age of 18 it is important to provide particulars of the arrangements for the children on the divorce application. Should there be children under 18, you or your solicitor will be required to attend the divorce hearing.
4: A Divorce Order will be issued by the court 1 month and 1 day after the date the divorce is granted.
5: There are further requirements if you have been married for less than 2 years or are separated but living under the one roof.
Parenting Matters – If you have kids, then a decision will need to be made regarding where the children are going to live and how much time they are going to spend with each parent. In some circumstances these arrangements can be reached amicably between the parties. If not, our family lawyers will be able to provide advise and negotiate on your behalf to determine a suitable arrangement.
Financial Support – In situations where you have been relying on your partner for financial support due to your obligations as a parent, you will need to make arrangements for child support, and in some situations, spousal support.
Property Settlement – This is separate from financial support as this relates to the division of assets, including houses, vehicles, cash holdings, investments, superannuation and liabilities among other things. If an agreed settlement can be reached in respect of the assets, then our family lawyers will be able to formalize the terms of settlement as a Binding Financial Agreement or as Consent Orders. If an agreed property settlement cannot be reached, our lawyers will be able to provide advice and representation in other avenues of settlement, including mediation and commencing court proceedings in the Federal Circuit & Family Court of Australia.
