Ready to make your divorce official?

Applying for a divorce does not need to be complicated or stressful.

If your marriage has ended and you are ready to formally divorce, Price Family Law can guide you through the Divorce Application process in the Family Court of Western Australia, with fixed-fee options available for suitable applications.

Our focus is on making the process simple, efficient and as stress-free as possible.

When can I apply for a divorce?

In Australia, divorce is based on the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.

Generally, you can apply for a divorce once you and your former spouse have been separated for at least 12 months and one day.

You can still be considered separated if you have continued living under the same roof, although additional information and evidence may be required as part of your application.

Do we need to agree to the divorce?

No. You do not need your former spouse's agreement to obtain a divorce.

A Divorce Application can be made either:

• jointly, where both parties complete the application together; or

• solely, where one spouse makes the application and the documents are then formally served on the other spouse.

If communication between you and your former spouse is amicable, a joint application can often provide a straightforward way to complete the process.

How can Price Family Law help?

We can take care of the legal process for you, including:

• preparing your Divorce Application;

• advising you about the documents and information required;

• preparing any additional documents required by the Court;

• assisting with service requirements for sole applications;

• filing your application with the Family Court of Western Australia; and

• guiding you through the process until your divorce is finalised.

Where appropriate, we offer fixed fees, giving you certainty about your legal costs from the outset.

What about our property and children?

A divorce legally ends your marriage, but it does not automatically resolve your property settlement or parenting arrangements.

You do not need to wait until you are divorced to deal with those matters.

It is also important to be aware that once a divorce becomes final, time limits apply to commencing certain financial proceedings, so you should obtain legal advice if your property settlement has not already been finalised.
