Divorce

In Australia, divorce is the legal process of ending a marriage.

To be granted a divorce, a couple must meet certain requirements, including having been separated for at least 12 months and demonstrating that the marriage has irretrievably brokendown.

Once a divorce is granted by the Court, the couple's legal marriage is dissolved, and they are free to remarry.

It is important to note that divorce in Australia is separate from other family law matters, such as property settlement and child custody.

While these issues may be dealt with as part of the divorce process, they are separate legal matters that may require additional legal assistance to resolve. A family lawyer can assist you with preparing your application to the Court toterminate your marriage and to provide you with tailored advice in relation to your separation.
