Family Law Advisors

Divorce Application

You've already separated, and it's time to make it official. We'll prepare your divorce application properly, at one fixed price, reviewed by a family lawyer before it's filed with the court.

A divorce application is largely administrative once you and your ex-partner aren't disputing anything - it's about getting the paperwork right, not negotiating an outcome. That's exactly what this service is built for.

Joint or sole - which application do you need?

There are two ways to apply for divorce in Australia. A joint application is filed by both of you together, which usually means a simpler process since neither of you needs to be formally served. A sole application is filed by one person on their own, with the other party then served notice of it. Both lead to the same outcome - we'll help you work out which one fits your situation when you get in touch.

What you'll need to apply

Every application needs a few key pieces of information and supporting documents, including your marriage certificate and evidence of your separation date. Where there are children under 18, the court also needs to see that proper arrangements have been made for them. See our full documents needed for a divorce application page for the details.

It doesn't cover contested property or parenting disputes; if that's where things stand for you, we'll tell you honestly and point you to a family lawyer who handles disputes.

Questions people ask us about divorce applications

How much does a divorce application cost?
Our fully prepared and lawyer-reviewed divorce application service starts from $795, fixed, with no hourly billing. If you'd rather prepare it yourself, our DIY Kit is a cheaper starting point.
What's the difference between a joint and a sole divorce application?
A joint application is filed by both of you together, and generally has a simpler process since you're both already on the same page. A sole application is filed by one person, with the other party formally served notice of it. Both are for an uncontested divorce - the difference is just who's doing the filing.
Do I need a lawyer to apply for divorce?
For an uncontested application, you don't need a lawyer to negotiate anything on your behalf - there's nothing to negotiate. Having an independent family lawyer in our network check your application before it's filed just means it's properly prepared, reducing the chance of avoidable delays or requisitions from the court.
What documents do I need for a divorce application?
You'll typically need your marriage certificate and evidence of your separation date, plus details about arrangements for any children under 18. See our full breakdown on the documents needed for a divorce application page.
