What is the process for getting a divorce in Australia?
The first step to divorce in Australia is being separated for 12 months, after which you can file your application through the Federal Circuit and Family Court. Our team can guide you through this process while helping manage the more complex aspects like property division and parenting arrangements.
How are property settlements determined?
Property settlements follow a clear process that considers the value of all assets, both partners’ contributions (financial and non-financial), and future needs of each party.
Our experienced team guides you through this process, helping identify and protect your entitlements while working towards a fair resolution.
What is a binding financial agreement
A binding financial agreement (BFA) is a legal document that outlines how assets will be divided if a relationship ends, and can be made before, during, or after a relationship.
These agreements provide certainty and protection when properly prepared, requiring both parties to receive independent legal advice to ensure they’re legally binding.
What are the payment options and fees?
We believe in transparent pricing and offer flexible payment options, including fixed-fee for some services and a $500 credit for new clients. We’ll discuss all costs upfront and can arrange payment plans to help make quality legal support manageable.
Are property and assets always split 50/50?
No, there’s no automatic 50/50 split in Australian family law as each situation is assessed based on individual circumstances and contributions.
The Court considers factors like financial and non-financial contributions during the relationship, future needs, and what’s fair for both parties.
