Do I require a lawyer for my divorce?
In Australia, it’s not necessary to have a lawyer for divorce. Although having a lawyer will help you with matters such as your rights being protected, legal papers being processed smoothly, and you getting the best possible outcome in complicated cases.
How long does it take to get a divorce in Australia?
You must be separated for 12 months before you can apply for divorce according to Australian family law. It usually takes 4 to 6 months before the court grants the divorce, in case there are no additional issues.
What determines child custody arrangements?
The court focuses on the best interests of the child, like their safety, well-being, and their personal relationship with both parents. They also weigh in on the capability of each parent to provide a safe environment for the child. We help parents reach reasonable custody arrangements and represent their case in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA).
