DIVORCE LAWYER MELBOURNE FAQs

Leave Blank
What is the legal process for obtaining a divorce?
To apply for a divorce, the marriage must involve both parties separating for a minimum of 12 months right before sending the divorce application. Nationally, we focus on a “no-fault divorce”, which signifies that the court doesn’t place focus on the reasonings behind the breakdown of the marriage. When it comes to the separation process, this can even happen if both separated parties are living in the same space. In this situation, it is important to have a third party provide affidavit evidence to prove the separation.
Leave Blank
Do I need to go through a court process?
The decision to go through court proceedings depends on your particular matter. For children’s matters, a certificate is necessary, as made evident through the 60 I Family Law Act, to be given by a family dispute resolution (FDR) practitioner. For property settlement matters, we try to get both parties to reach an agreement preventing them from having to go to court. For difficult disputes, you are required to attend Family Court to reach a final agreement. No matter if you undergo mediation or go to Family Court, having an experienced family lawyer at your side can ensure that the matter will be resolved efficiently.

How much does a divorce cost in VIC?
The overall cost of going through the divorce process would vary depending on your particular matter. To apply for a divorce, the cost is $990, or you could get a reduced fee of $330 if you are entitled to financial support or if you have Government concession cards. With the additional divorce applications involved, the overall cost of going through a court proceeding would estimate at $100, 000 depending on the case. For this reason, we recommend doing mediation to avoid the extra costs.

Our experienced Melbourne divorce lawyers aim to make sure you reap the most benefits by keeping our costs down. If you are able to negotiate and liaise with your spouse will help both parties in terms of emotional and financial support. As we are a family law firm, we always charge hourly and can give you a transparent financial arrangement on the overall cost depending on your matter.
