Frequently Asked Questions
How long does divorce take in Australia?
You must be separated for 12 months before applying for divorce. The divorce itself typically takes 2–3 months from application. Property and parenting matters are separate and can be resolved at any time.
Do I have to go to court for a divorce?
Not necessarily. Many divorces are uncontested and can be filed without a court appearance. Property and parenting matters can often be resolved by agreement, avoiding the need for litigation.
How is property divided in a separation?
There is no automatic 50/50 split. The court considers contributions (financial and non-financial) and future needs of both parties. We negotiate fair settlements to avoid costly litigation wherever possible.
