Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between separation and divorce?
Separation is the decision to live apart from your partner, while divorce is the legal termination of a marriage. You must be separated for at least 12 months before you can apply for a divorce in Australia.
How are assets divided during a separation?
The division of assets depends on various factors, including the length of the relationship, contributions made by each party, and future needs. Our lawyers can help you understand your entitlements and negotiate a fair settlement.

What should I do if my partner and I cannot agree on child custody arrangements?
If you and your partner cannot reach an agreement on child custody, mediation is often the next step. Our experienced mediators can assist in facilitating discussions to achieve an amicable solution. If mediation fails, the matter may need to be resolved in court.
Do I need a lawyer to handle my separation?
While it is possible to handle a separation without a lawyer, having legal representation ensures that your rights are protected and that you receive expert advice on complex legal matters. Our lawyers can help you navigate the process efficiently and effectively.
