Understanding the Divorce Process
So, you’ve decided to get a divorce – what does the process actually entail?
You must have been separated from your spouse for at least 12 months to be eligible for a divorce. This is to allow time for you to consider your decision and make attempts at reconciliation.
Note: It is possible to complete the separation period while still living together, although this requires you to provide evidence you are functionally living apart and no longer in a romantic relationship.
Note: If you reconcile during the separation, after three months, your separation period requirements will reset.
Separation and Divorce in North Sydney: Why You Need a Lawyer
Getting divorced is rarely as simple as signing a piece of paper and going your separate ways. Marriage means that you’ve intertwined your finances and obligations with someone else. Untangling that legal relationship requires a careful and considered approach if you want to have the best outcome.
It’s important to remember that getting divorced involves:
• Gathering relevant documents and preparing the official divorce application (whether on your own or in a joint application with your spouse)
• Developing a thorough understanding of your financial and non-financial contributions to the marriage
• Negotiating issues like property settlement and parenting arrangements with your former partner and their lawyer (such as through alternative dispute resolution)
Without an experienced divorce lawyer in your court, you’ll likely stumble through the process and make mistakes that can jeopardise your chances of getting a satisfactory result. You’ll also be at a significant disadvantage in the negotiation process if your former partner has legal counsel and you don’t.
Don’t make the mistake of getting divorced without a family lawyer!
Settle Your Divorce Without Going to Court
At The Norton Law Group, we take pride in resolving most cases without forcing our clients to attend court. Litigating a family law matter like parenting or property disputes can be a messy, expensive, and stress-inducing process that we would prefer to help you avoid.
Thankfully, our divorce lawyers are highly experienced with reaching negotiated settlements on behalf of our clients. This helps both parties avoid going to court and maintain control over the outcome (rather than have it decided for you by a judge).
