Frequently Asked Questions

How much will it cost?

It depends on what is involved. No two families are the same and every family has different circumstances.

We will provide you with an estimate of our fees at your first initial complimentary consultation once we understand your particular circumstances.

How long does it take?

In any family law matter there are many variables to consider, and no two cases are the same. As with the cost, we will be able to provide a more accurate estimate of how long your case might take once we have spoken to you and understand your specific circumstances.

How long will it take for my divorce to be granted?

If both parties are agreeable, then you can apply for a joint application for divorce which will be granted quicker than in cases such as where your former partner opposes an application for divorce, one party resides overseas, or if the Court considers that the parenting arrangements made for your children are inadequate.

Can I apply for a divorce if I still live in the same house as my partner?

Yes, as long as you have been separated and you can attest to sleeping separately since the separation, you can apply for a divorce.

When can I apply for a divorce? How long do we have to be separated?

You can apply for a divorce once you have been separated from your partner for at least 12 months.

How do I apply for Spousal Maintenance?

If you cannot reach an agreement for your former partner to voluntarily pay you spousal maintenance, then you can formally apply for spousal maintenance by applying to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for an order of spousal maintenance (in addition to property settlement or parenting orders).

Do I need to be divorced to get Spousal Maintenance?

No, you can apply for spousal maintenance from the moment of separation.
