Divorce proceedings refer to the legal ending of a marriage.
To be eligible to apply for a divorce you must have been separated from your partner for 12 months or more and have no likelihood of reconciliation.
There are other requirements that the Court will call for you to meet before accepting your application, these being:-
You or your former partner regard Australia as your home and intend to live in Australia indefinitely, or;
You or your former partner are an Australian citizen by birth, descent or by grant of Australian citizenship, or
You or your former partner ordinarily live in Australia and have done so for 12 months immediately before filing for divorce.
In some circumstances, you will be required to attend your divorce hearing to answer any queries the Court may raise with respect to parenting arrangements or service issues.
