    The Australian laws on divorce

    Divorce in Australia is a stressful process. Not only does it involve the intricate interaction between properties, parenting and divorce application proceedings, empathy is also a key factor due to the emotional elements in such processes. It is crucial for you to retain an experienced and reliable legal team that could provide tailored services to your budget and needs to avoid unnecessary stress and costs.

    Family law is designed to provide legal guidance and protect individual rights during these challenging times. In Australia, family law encompasses a range of principles dealing with matters such as marriage, de facto relationships, separation, divorce, property settlement, spousal maintenance, child custody, and family violence.

    We adopt a comprehensive and nuanced approach to ensure that every client fully understands the process. Whether the situation appears simple or complex, we are committed to assisting you and planning for the future. Our services include:

    Our philosophy is to provide the most economic and simplified solution to your other-wise complex and expensive problems.

    The three major processes that need to be dealt with are:

    1. Divorce
    2. Parenting arrangements 
    3. Property settlement

    All three above-mentioned aspects could be dealt with independently, albeit should be done so as quickly as possible.

    Generally, it is required that:

    1. At least one party needs to be Australian citizen, or PR, or ordinarily resides in Australia;
    2. 2 years of marriage; and
    3. 1 year of separation

    Generally, it takes 3 to 5 months for a divorce application to be finalised by the Family Court or the Federal Circuit Court.

    Division of your properties is called ‘property settlement’. This primarily depends on:

    1. financial and non-financial contributions by the parties; 
    2. duration of cohabitation; and 
    3. the parties’ assets and liabilities. 

    Not all your properties will be divided, and not all properties are divided in the same proportions. You should seek our expert advice in relation to the precise way in which your property ought to be re-distributed.

    Parenting arrangements are premised based solely on the principle of best interest of the child.
