Divorce Lawyers in Sydney

While the period of separation after a failed marriage is often a stressful and emotional time; the actual process of obtaining a divorce is very simple. Unlike other jurisdictions, Australia has no fault-divorce, this means that either spouse can apply for a divorce provided that the following grounds are met:

The Application can be made online through the Commonwealth Courts Portal or at the Federal Circuit Court Registry.

If you and your spouse make a Joint Application, neither of you need to attend the Hearing.

In the case of a sole application, the Applicant must attend the Divorce Hearing if there are children under the age of 18 or if a Response is filed by the other spouse challenging the facts outlined in the Application; otherwise Court attendance is not required by either spouse.
