Frequently Asked Questions
You must be separated for a minimum of 12 months before applying for a divorce in Australia. This separation period applies even if you still live under the same roof, provided certain conditions are met.
Yes, you can still apply for a divorce in Australia if your spouse resides overseas, as long as you meet the legal criteria, such as being an Australian citizen or living in Australia for at least 12 months before filing. The process may take longer due to international factors, but it is legally possible.
In most cases, you don’t need to attend court for the divorce to be finalised unless there are unresolved issues or children under 18 involved. The divorce will typically be processed by the court without a hearing if it’s a straightforward application.
The current filing fee for a divorce application in Australia is set by the Federal Circuit and Family Court, which is subject to annual adjustments. Fee reductions are available for individuals facing financial hardship or holding certain concession cards.
