If you are considering divorce, understanding the legal requirements and process is crucial. At Sukhdev & Ahmad Lawyers Pty Ltd, our team of experienced divorce lawyers in Melbourne is here to guide you through every step with professionalism and care.
Divorce Process
To apply for a divorce in Australia, you must be separated for at least 12 months before filing. The application can be made either jointly or by one party. You will be given a date for your divorce hearing. Whether you are required to attend the hearing depends on several factors, such as whether there are children of the marriage under the age of 18. If the divorce application is made solely by one party, the other party must be served the application and acknowledge receipt.
Serving the Divorce
If you file for divorce individually, you will need to prove to the Court that the other party has been served with the application properly.
Finalising the Divorce
At the divorce hearing, the Court will grant a Divorce Order if all requirements are met. The Divorce Order will become final one month and one day after it is granted.
