Frequently asked questions
Every family is unique, and so are the questions that arise during times of change. Here are some of the most common concerns people ask when navigating Divorce & Separation-related legal issues.
Do I need to attend court for my divorce?
You typically do not need to attend court. If attendance is required, your lawyer can appear on your behalf.
Can I get divorced if I don't know where my spouse is?
Yes. If you cannot locate your spouse to serve them papers, we can apply for an order to dispense with service or allow “substituted service” (e.g., via email or social media).
Does it matter who "caused" the divorce?
No. Australia has a “no-fault” divorce system. The only legal ground for divorce is the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, evidenced by 12 months of separation.
