Parties to a marriage can apply for a divorce in Australia if either you or your spouse:

  • regard Australia as your home and intend to live in Australia indefinitely, or
  • are an Australian citizen by birth, descent or by grant of Australian citizenship, or
  • ordinarily live in Australia and have done so for 12 months immediately before filing for divorce.

  • Before a divorce will be granted the applicant must satisfy the Court that the parties to the marriage have lived separately and apart for at least 12 months, and there is no reasonable likelihood of resuming married life, although it is possible to live together in the same home and still be separated under the one roof.

    You may be tempted to file an application for divorce without using a lawyer, however this carries risk. The Federal Circuit Court will refuse to grant the divorce unless you are able to satisfy the court that there are proper arrangements for all children under 18. In circumstances where you and your former spouse disagree on parenting issues such as where the children live or how much time they spend with each party, engaging a lawyer will be of significant assistance in resolving those issues between you. A lawyer will also help you resolve any dispute about property or financial matters and will make sure you know your legal entitlements before you agree to a solution.
