At one stage or another, almost all of us fall in love or enter into a relationship that does not work out. However, disputes with our spouses, either married or in long term de facto relationships, do not have to end badly. If there is agreement as to a mutual parting of ways, then this can be formalised in a straightforward and amicable way. This is always the preferable option as Family Law litigation can be long, protracted and can turn nasty. However, with an experienced Divorce Lawyer there is no need to waste time and money.
Our Divorce Lawyers can help you to file for divorce in a simple and cost-effective manner. Where divorce is done by consent of both parties, the process can be simple and easily done without the need to attend Court.
Where one party does not agree with the divorce, it does not mean that divorce is not possible. What it means is that one party will need to file for divorce alone and a Court appearance may be necessary if the other party wants a opportunity to submit to the Court why divorce is not in the best interests of the parties involved.
There are also restrictions and requirements to satisfy in terms of the time of separation before divorce and how this can be managed or determined. Separation while still living under the same roof in the one household is possible, but it is essential that you have legal advice to navigate the best way forward with any divorce application in such circumstances.
If there are young children involved, the Court may want to hear that the children are going to be adequately housed and taken care of moving into the future before granting the divorce. Once the divorce is granted, it does not become final until one month and one day has passed.
There are also other issues to consider when seeking a divorce which may affect your ability to formalise a property settlement down the track. Generally, once parties have divorced there is a one-year time limit to agree on the division of assets or, if there is no agreement, to file an initiating application in either the Federal Circuit Court or Family Court of Australia for property orders. Our Divorce Lawyers can assist you to understand the importance of this time limit in greater detail.
Our experienced Divorce Lawyers can assist you no matter how simple or how complicated your divorce may be. Get in touch with our Divorce Lawyers today for a free consultation.
