FAMILY LAW & DIVORCE LAWYERS GOLD COAST

Going Through Separation or Divorce?

Facing separation or divorce can feel overwhelming. The legal process seems complex, your financial future is uncertain, and if children are involved, the emotional stakes are even higher. Many people feel lost about where to start and worried about making costly mistakes that could affect them for years to come.

Don't Let Uncertainty Cost You

Without proper legal guidance, you risk:

  • Receiving less than your fair share in property settlement
  • Making agreements that don't protect your long-term interests
  • Missing critical deadlines that could affect your rights
  • Making decisions about children's arrangements that may be hard to change later

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a divorce take in Australia?

Under the Family Law Act 1975, you must be separated for at least 12 months before you can apply for a divorce. Once filed with the Federal Circuit and Family Court, it typically takes 3 to 4 months to be finalised. The divorce process is separate from property settlement and parenting arrangements.

How much does it cost to file for divorce in Australia?

The Federal Circuit and Family Court filing fee for a divorce application is currently $1,060. If you are experiencing financial hardship, a reduced fee may be available. Legal fees for preparing and filing your application vary depending on complexity.

Do I need a lawyer to get divorced?

While you can file for divorce without a lawyer, legal advice is recommended — particularly if children, property, or superannuation are involved. A family lawyer can ensure your rights are protected and that related matters like property settlement are addressed within the required time limits.
