Divorce – The Basics

Introduction

Obtaining a divorce is a relatively simple process, provided that certain procedural requirements have been complied with.  In order to obtain a divorce, you have to demonstrate the following:

  • That you were validly married.
  • That the marriage has irretrievably broken down. This is established by demonstrating that the parties have been separated for a period of at least 12 months.

There are two other things that you need to demonstrate to the Court:

  1. That the other person knows about the Application for Divorce.  You do this by serving your spouse with a copy of the Application at least 28 days before the date of the Divorce Hearing.
  2. That proper arrangements have been made for any children of the relationship.

Do I have to attend Court?

If there are no children under the age of 18, you don’t have to attend court for the Divorce hearing.  Also, if you are making the application jointly with your former spouse, you don’t have to attend court either.

Establishing ‘Separation’

Sometimes, whether or not the parties have separated is in dispute and even the date of separation can be an issue in dispute.  It is a good idea to communicate a separation in writing, even if it’s just an email or text message.  If you cannot prove you separated from your spouse at least 12 months prior to filing an Application for Divorce, the Court will not grant a divorce for you.

If there is a dispute about when and if a separation has occurred, an affidavit needs to address:

  • Whether or not the parties separated their financial affairs following separation.
  • Whether the parties performed domestic duties for each other after the date of separation.
  • Whether the parties slept in separate rooms or were intimate after the date of separation.
  • Whether a party lodged documents with Government departments evidencing a separation, i.e. Centrelink or the Australian Taxation Office.
  • Whether or not it was publicly known that the parties had separated, i.e. whether their friends and family knew.

The process of writing consent orders was made very simple by your knowledge and professionalism. Jessica was easy to talk with from my initial telephone call and easy to communicate with by email thereafter. Her manner was reassuring and considerate and she had the knowledge required to answer my questions. The fixed cost made budgeting easy and affordable. I have already recommended your company to a friend and will do so again in the futureread more

I can highly recommend the team at Kate Austin Family Lawyers. They prepared Consent Orders and also organised the property transfers. From beginning to end everyone has been very friendly, professional and helpful and the whole process has been extremely stress free. The fees definitely did not break the bank and worth every $ to know that the process is done properly the first time. Jessica in particular has been very reassuring to me and it's been greatly appreciated. Thank you Kate Austin Lawyers!read more
