What Constitutes a Divorce in Australia?

Divorce is the legal end of a marriage.

To get divorced in Australia you need to show two things:

1. 1. that you have been separated for at least 12 months;
   2. that there is no prospect of reconciliation.

It does not matter who was at fault or whether one of you does not want a divorce.

The only way to stop a divorce is to show that one of the two things you need to prove has not occurred.

Applying For a Divorce

Applying for a divorce is usually straightforward. Either you or your spouse, or both of you together can make an application for a divorce. The process is designed to be user-friendly and many people apply themselves without a lawyer. However, if you have difficulty writing English or do not like speaking in public, our divorce lawyers in Melbourne & Essendon can help you with the process.

When to Seek Legal Advice From a Divorce Lawyer in Melbourne

Sometimes, divorce applications can get complicated. For example, if:

• You do not know the whereabouts of your former partner;
• Your separation was complicated, perhaps with periods of reconciliation;
• You have been separated under the one roof;
• There is no agreement about when you separated;
• You are not an Australian citizen or have spent most of your life outside Australia;
• You have been married for less than 2 years.

If this happened to you, you should seek legal advice.
