There are some still some questions you would need to consider while you are thinking about divorce:
“Who will pay your accrued shared debt?
Who will stay in the current residence and who will leave?
Who will take care of the child/children? Or which days will the other party see the child/children?”
It’s important to take the time to be able to think about these matters and be able to make decisions with a clear head. Our divorce lawyers will take all the time they need to hear your story and understand your case. To help you get what you want out of the matter with our trusted legal advice.

For those that no longer wish to maintain a relationship, but still want to remain living in the same space you can also consider a separation instead. Living together isn’t necessary, but it is a common solution for finance reasons.
Separation, like divorce, still requires the involvement of lawyers and the court. The end of the relationship needs to be proven to proceed. Our separation lawyers in Sydney can assist with this important arrangement.
How do we divide assets?
The end of a marriage or de facto relationship also always entails the division of debt and assets. Our separation lawyers are highly skilled mediators and negotiators. Even if a peaceful discussion about splitting finances seems like a rough proposition now, from experience we’ve seen how a professional mediator can see negotiations get made and finalised. We will advocate for you, and make sure you can get a fair settlement.

In Australia, the Federal Circuit Court and Family Courts both hear and grant divorce, separation and spousal maintenance cases. With complex laws changing constantly, these Courts are a stressful place to be in and it is important to have an experienced Family Law Lawyer who is able to navigate through your matter with you.
We regularly use negotiation and mediation to resolve divorce and separation matters as they are mutually beneficial settlement methods. With many different styles of negotiation and mediation such as round-table or shuttle, these methods of resolving family law disputes are less stressful and emotional than that of going to Court. These methods are cheaper and faster too.
How to apply for a divorce?
What is a legal separation?
What is spousal maintenance?
If you are separated or divorced from a partner who has been supporting you during the relationship, you may be entitled to apply to have that financial support continued by way of spousal maintenance.
Applied for through the Family Court, spousal maintenance is where payments are made by one partner to a former partner. These payments can be made periodically or in lump sum format and are usually granted for a set period (therefore, not forever).
Whilst there is no set formula in determining amounts, a Court will look at a range of factors in determining what amount should be awarded, the frequency and for how long.
