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.
At PCL Lawyers, we understand that no two family situations are the same. Our family divorce lawyer team is dedicated to finding practical solutions that support both your emotional and financial wellbeing.
Many clients ask: how will divorce affect my financial future? Our divorce and family lawyer team can provide tailored advice on property settlements, spousal maintenance and superannuation entitlements so you can make informed decisions to secure long-term stability.

Once you apply, it usually takes several months for the court to finalise a divorce. However, financial and children’s matters can take longer depending on complexity. Your divorce lawyer will give you an accurate timeframe based on your circumstances.
Yes. In Australia, divorce is based on irretrievable breakdown of marriage, shown by 12 months of separation. Consent from your spouse isn’t required, although they must be served with the application. Our divorce lawyers can manage this process for you.
Most divorce applications are handled by the court without you attending in person, but you may need to attend if there are disputes regarding children’s arrangements. A family divorce lawyer from PCL Lawyers can guide you through every step.
If you can’t reach agreement, the matter may proceed to court. Our divorce and family lawyer team will represent your interests and work to achieve a fair outcome. Wherever possible, we aim to resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation first.
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your matter. At PCL Lawyers, we provide clear cost estimates and practical advice to help you plan. Speaking with a divorce lawyer early can help reduce legal expenses by resolving matters sooner.
