The Divorce Process and What It Means For You
Balmoral Legal has a team of family lawyers in Perth who can guide you through the divorce process. A divorce is an administrative act, where 12 months after separation a person can apply for a divorce. This is the legal recognition by the Court that your marriage has ended. A divorce does not resolve your financial relationship with your former spouse.
Whilst the procedure for filing for divorce may be relatively simple, you need to be aware of many issues before and after you apply, including:
- Have you and your spouse been separated under one roof?
- Do you need to be divorced?
- If you do need a divorce, should you apply before or after a property settlement?
- Is a sole or joint application appropriate?
- Have you been married for less than two years? If so, special considerations will apply.
- Have appropriate arrangements been put in place for your children?
- Have you commenced property (and if applicable, spousal maintenance) proceedings in the Family Court?
It is important to note that the making of a Divorce Order will automatically revoke your Will unless a contrary intention appears in your Will or there is other evidence establishing such an intention.
