Divorce and Separation Lawyer Noble Park
At Just Family Law, our family lawyers bring more than 25 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate the legal and emotional complexities of separation and divorce. We understand how difficult this period can be, and our role is to provide steady guidance and clear legal advice every step of the way.
Divorce marks the formal end of a marriage under Australian law. However, many of the most important legal matters, such as parenting arrangements, financial support, and property division are usually addressed during the separation phase. Before applying for divorce, you must be separated for at least twelve months. This separation can occur even if you remain living under one roof, as long as you can provide adequate supporting evidence.
Since 1976, divorce in Australia has operated under a no-fault system. The Court does not consider blame or wrongdoing. A divorce is granted when the Court is satisfied that the marriage has broken down irretrievably, as shown by the twelve-month separation period.
If you are looking for a divorce lawyer in Noble Park you can trust, our team at Just Family Law can assist with preparing and lodging your divorce application. We also support clients with related matters such as parenting agreements and property settlements, ensuring your rights and responsibilities are clearly understood.
Once a divorce is granted, there is a twelve-month timeframe in which to begin property proceedings. For this reason, many clients choose to resolve financial matters prior to applying for divorce. If children under the age of 18 are involved, the Court must be satisfied that suitable arrangements are in place. If court attendance is required, our lawyers will guide and represent you throughout the process. We also assist with more complex divorces, including:
- Proving separation under one roof
- Disputes over the separation date
- Urgent divorces where remarriage is planned
- Locating or serving a former partner
- Contested divorce applications
- Overseas marriages or jurisdictional questions
- Determining the appropriate country for divorce proceedings
- Parenting arrangements that may not meet Court standards

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.
