Frequently Asked Questions

Separation occurs when a couple decides to live apart, while divorce is the legal termination of a marriage. You don’t need to be divorced to finalise property or parenting matters. Our separation lawyers can guide you through each process and ensure your rights are upheld.

In Australia, couples must be separated for at least 12 months before applying for divorce. Our legal separation lawyer will ensure the timing and paperwork are correct. If you are separating you should take note of the date when you first started living apart or separately under one roof.

Even if both parties agree, it’s a good idea to obtain advice from a separation lawyer. Legal documents such as consent orders or binding financial agreements must meet strict requirements to be enforceable. Having professional guidance ensures the agreement will be fair and legally binding.

The division of property, including the family home, depends on factors such as contributions and future needs. Our lawyers for legal separation will provide advice tailored to your situation and negotiate a resolution that protects your interests.
