Effective Divorce Lawyers in Melbourne
For many, getting a divorce is a difficult process. Not only do most people suffer through the emotional stress of a relationship breakdown, there are also many other things to deal with such as legal and financial paperwork. If you have children there are additional considerations that need to be made for custody and parental arrangements.
We generally find that those who are separating or divorcing are concerned and unsure of what to expect and how to make plans for their financial future of their family. Our family lawyers understand the desire for this certainty about how the separation will affect their parenting and finances. Our lawyers can walk you through the process and what you need to consider and factors you need to take into account to have the most successful outcome for you and your family.

What do I do? - The Divorce Process
There are three parts to the divorce process:
To apply for a divorce in Australia you make an application to the Federal Circuit Family Court Of Australia, (Family Court), or Registrar to terminate the Marriage. Some people refer to a divorce as the entire process of separating and dividing assets, however, a divorce itself is quite separate to the division of property and children’s matters.
You must have been separated for 12 months and, if you have children, proper arrangements have been made for the welfare of those, before a family court will grant a divorce. Quite often we will help you prepare and apply for the divorce as a part of property settlement and any matters involving the children.
