Married couples may apply for a Divorce in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia once they have been separated for more than 12 months.
Our office can assist with:
A Divorce Order changes your marital status from married to divorced. A Divorce Order does not change your name, impact your children’s rights to a relationship with you or your entitlement to a property settlement.
Once a Divorce Order comes into effect, a time limitation is triggered and a property settlement and/or spousal maintenance claim must be formalised, or a Court Application made, within 12 months of a Divorce Order coming into effect.
Depending on your circumstances, we may recommend that you immediately apply for a divorce.
