Do I need a lawyer to get divorced?

You can apply for divorce online through the Federal Circuit and Family Court. But many people choose to work with a lawyer to:

  • Ensure the application is completed correctly

  • Deal with situations where you’ve lost contact with your spouse

  • Handle service of documents

  • Advise on parenting and property matters connected to the divorce

Time limits after divorce

It’s important to know that once a divorce is finalised, you have 12 months to start property settlement or spousal maintenance proceedings. Acting early avoids the stress of running out of time.
