Divorce Lawyers in Australia

As a leading family law firm, we provide legal support for individuals navigating divorce across Australia. Our divorce lawyers assist clients with every stage of separation, ensuring they feel informed and supported.

A divorce lawyer will guide you through the three key parts of divorce: the formal termination of marriage, property settlement and parenting arrangements. While many people think of divorce as the entire process, it’s important to know that applying for a divorce is separate from financial and children’s matters.

To apply for a divorce, you must be separated for at least 12 months. Our divorce and family lawyer team can prepare your application and ensure you meet the court’s requirements. If you have children, the court must be satisfied that suitable arrangements are in place for their welfare before granting a divorce.

Sorting through finances is often the most stressful part of separation. Our family divorce lawyer team can help you negotiate a fair division of assets and debts. We can prepare consent orders or binding financial agreements to protect your future, and where agreement isn’t possible, we can represent you in court with a focus on achieving a just outcome.

If you have children, it’s essential to establish arrangements that prioritise their wellbeing. Our divorce lawyers can assist with parenting plans or consent orders, helping you create agreements that work in practice and are legally enforceable. We can also represent clients in complex or contested children’s matters, working to resolve disputes quickly and fairly.
