Family & Divorce Law

We assist clients with divorce applications under Australian family law.

Australia operates a no-fault divorce system under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). The only requirement is that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, demonstrated by at least 12 months of separation.

Divorce proceedings in Australia focus solely on the legal end of the marriage and do not determine property settlement or parenting arrangements.

For clients with connections to Nepal, we provide guidance on divorce matters involving Nepali law, including the legal process, applicable grounds, and recognition of foreign divorce orders.

Where a divorce involves multiple jurisdictions, it is important to carefully consider how decisions made in one country may be recognised or enforced in another.

Divorce is a significant life event, but the legal process itself does not need to be overwhelming.

We focus on providing clear guidance on legal requirements, preparing accurate documentation, and ensuring applications are properly lodged to avoid unnecessary delays or complications.

Where matters are straightforward and uncontested, we provide efficient and cost-effective assistance. Where complexities arise — including service issues, overseas marriages, or cross-border recognition — we provide tailored legal advice based on your circumstances.
