Divorce is one of life’s most challenging experiences, both legally and emotionally. At EK Lawyers & Associates, our divorce lawyers provide clear, compassionate, and expert legal guidance to help you move forward with confidence. We handle both sole and joint divorce applications, assist with overseas marriages, and manage the service of divorce papers on your behalf.
We proudly service clients across Sydney, Liverpool, Parramatta, Bankstown, Blacktown, Campbelltown and Penrith.
Understanding Divorce Applications in Australia
In Australia, divorce is governed by the Family Law Act 1975, which operates on a no-fault basis. This means the only ground for divorce is the irretrievable breakdown of a marriage, demonstrated by a separation of at least 12 months. You do not need to prove that either party was at fault; what matters is that the marriage has broken down and there is no reasonable likelihood of reconciliation.
Key Eligibility Requirement for Divorce in Australia:
- You or your spouse must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
- You must have been separated for at least 12 months before applying
- Proper arrangements for children under 18 must be in place.
- If married for less than 2 years, counselling may be required before filling.
The Matters We Handle as Divorce Lawyers
Sole Divorce Applications:
A sole application is filed by one spouse, typically when the other party is unresponsive or unwilling to cooperate. Our divorce lawyers handle all preparation, filing, and court requirements on your behalf. We ensure your application is complete and compliant from the outset.
Joint Divorce Applications:
When both parties agree to divorce, a joint application is often the faster and more cost-effective option. In most joint applications, neither party is required to attend a court hearing. Our team can coordinate with both parties to prepare a smooth, efficient joint divorce application.
Overseas Marriages:
Were you married in another country? You can still apply for a divorce in Australia, provided your marriage is recognised under Australian law. Our divorce lawyers assist clients with marriages from across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and beyond. We manage certified translations, overseas documentation, and all court requirements so your application proceeds without delay.
Did you know?
Australia recognises marriages that were valid in the country where they took place. Even if your original marriage documents are in a foreign language, our team can assist with certified translations and proper authentication to ensure your divorce application proceeds without delay.
We Handle Divorce Papers
For sole divorce applications, the other party must be formally served with divorce documents. And any error in this process can delay or jeopardise your application. Our divorce lawyers manage the full-service process, including:
- Organising personal service through an authorised process server
- Preparing and filing the Affidavit of Service with the court
- Applying for substituted service where the other party cannot be located.
- Coordinating international service for spouses living overseas.
