Divorce
An application for divorce is quite separate to an application regarding property and/or parenting orders. Whilst applications for property and parenting can commence following separation, an application for divorce can only be made after you and your partner have been separated for a period of not less than twelve months.
During this twelve month period the parties must have lived separately and apart within the meaning of the Family Law Act. However, it is also possible for you to file an application if you and your partner have lived together but separated under the same roof so long as this satisfies the guidelines in this regard. Our solicitors can attend to this application on your behalf and appear before the Registrar when your Divorce is finalised.
