Filing for Divorce in Queensland
A family lawyer can help you file for divorce if:
- You prove that you are legally married by providing a marriage certificate. If you cannot locate your marriage certificate, your lawyer can help.
- Prove that you have been separated for at least 12 months before you apply for the divorce.
- Demonstrate that sufficient arrangements have been made for the care of any children involved.
In Queensland, the Federal District Court of Australia decides on divorce cases filed with them. If you and your spouse have common property or if there are children involved, you should contact a divorce lawyer who can help you through the process of family law mediation. You must be able to demonstrate that your marriage has irreversibly broken down. Queensland courts are particular about appropriate care arrangements for children and failure to do so properly may lengthen the divorce process.
