Divorce and Separation Lawyer Narre Warren

At Just Family Law, our family lawyers have over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through the legal and emotional challenges of separation and divorce. We understand how uncertain this time can be, and we are here to offer clear legal advice and steady guidance every step of the way.

Divorce is the formal legal end of a marriage, but many key matters, such as parenting arrangements, property settlements, and spousal support are usually addressed during the separation period. You must be separated for at least twelve months before filing for divorce. In some cases, this separation can occur while living under the same roof, provided appropriate evidence is available.

Since 1976, Australia has followed a no-fault divorce system. This means that neither party needs to prove blame or wrongdoing. A divorce is granted when the Court is satisfied that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, as evidenced by the twelve-month separation.

If you are looking for a divorce lawyer in Narre Warren you can trust, our team at Just Family Law can assist with preparing and lodging your divorce application and advising on related matters such as property division and parenting agreements. We are here to ensure your rights are protected and that you feel supported throughout the process.

Once a divorce is granted, there is a twelve-month window for property settlement proceedings. Many people choose to resolve financial matters before applying for divorce to avoid time pressures later. Where children under 18 are involved, the Court must be satisfied that proper parenting arrangements are in place before granting the divorce. If court attendance is required, our lawyers will advise and represent you at every stage. We also assist with more complex divorce situations, including the following:

    • Proving separation under one roof
    • Disputes over the date of separation
    • Urgent divorces where remarriage is planned
    • Locating or serving a former partner
    • Contested divorce applications
    • Overseas marriages and cross-border issues
    • Determining the appropriate jurisdiction
    • Parenting arrangements that may not meet Court expectations

    I highly recommend Sally O'Connor and Just Family Law.
    Our circumstances in engaging JFL were due to the sudden and tragic passing of my sister. Sally assisted our family through complex legal proceedings as we sought full parental responsibilities for her three children, my nieces and nephew.
    Sally was able to shift from holding my hand and passing tissues, to providing practical solutions, advice and guidance on how best to navigate the legal system and achieve what was in the best interest of the kids.
    Thank you Sally, we will never be able to express how much you did for us and how your counsel and friendship helped us navigate an incredibly difficult time.
    No hesitation at all in recommending Sally, and the JFL team.

    A barrister pointed me to them saying they were good for other referrals and I'm so happy I did engage them. I've heard horror stories but Sally and David were great. Not exactly cheap but seemed priceless. I recommend.
