Getting divorced is literally just getting ‘unmarried’. It does not involve making arrangements for your children, or dividing your property. It is an online application with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, and you don’t even have to go to Court. However, the form has some tricky parts and many people find they cannot complete the process without the help of a lawyer. There is also a part that needs to be signed by an authorised witness, which can be annoying to organise.
We can take care of the whole divorce for you, at our standard fixed fee, but we also have another option for our Victorian clients. Our Divorce Clinics provide a space for people to bring their own computer and complete their Divorce Application in a group setting, with the assistance of an experienced Family Lawyer. Georgia Simson runs these clinics from Healesville and is available to walk you through the application, answer any questions, and sign as your authorised witness. She also sometimes takes the clinics on the road to libraries throughout North and Eastern Melbourne. These clinics are free, because we know that separation is hard, and expensive, and we believe you deserve a break!
(Please be aware that the Court charges a fee for filing the Divorce - see here for current fees.)
