1. Can I apply for divorce in the first year of marriage?

You will be required to first attend a mediation session and obtain a certificate from your counsellor in case you have been married for less than two years. Only after this procedure and separation period of 12 months can you go for the standard divorce procedure.

2. When can I revert to my maiden’s name after applying for divorce?

You can revert to your maiden’s name anytime, even during the divorce procedure. You can revert to it after the divorce as well.

3. Can I change the name of my child after divorce?

In case you wish to change the surname of your child, you need to get the consent of your partner even after your divorce.

4. Can I apply for a sole application for divorce?

Yes, you can. You can apply for a divorce as a single party i.e., sole application. You can also apply as joint parties when both parties want a divorce.

5. How long does it take for a divorce to take place?

In Queensland, we can help you get a divorce within two months from the filing date. You will receive a notification via mail. In the case of joint applications, your divorce has a higher chance of going smoothly and easily in terms of preference.

6. Is the separation period of 12 months important?

It is important in Australia to remain in separation for at least 12 months before the filing date even if you both wish for a divorce. No association can help you in shortening that period.

7. Is it important for us to go to the court for divorce?

If you are applying as joint applicants with mutual consent for divorce, then you don't require going to the court unless there are terms that either party does not agree with or adequate arrangements aren’t made to take care of the child.

How Can our Divorce Lawyers Help You?

Help you with your financial settlement:

According to the legal requirements of Australia, you are able to finalise property settlement at any time after separating. You are not required to be divorced in order to start this process. You can get financial settlement even if you go for a legal separation while you decide whether you want a divorce.

As a growing business, we knew it was time to seek a legal partner to assist with contracts. Ji has been fantastic to work with, producing thorough results in a timely manner. He has taken templates we'd previously sourced along with notes on our requirements and delivered what can only be described as legal wizardry. I can now focus on my business with peace of mind knowing I have solid contracts to fall back on should I ever need to. Thank you Fit Lawyers.
