Frequently asked questions

In order to file for a divorce, you must prove that you and your ex-partner have been separated for 12 months and one day.
You can apply for a divorce by filling in an online form. It is helpful to seek legal advice during this step to ensure you have filled out the form correctly. Once you have completed the form, you must swear or affirm the form in front of a lawyer or Justice of the Peace. This means that you have attested the validity of the form. You must then file your application to the Family Law Registry.
It will take at least four months to obtain a divorce certificate, however if you are encountering problems with your ex-partner, the process may take longer. Seeking legal aid can help the process flow more smoothly and quickly. You should not plan to remarry until you have received your divorce certificate.
If you have children under the age of 18, the court may postpone the divorce until arrangements can be made for the children. The details of these arrangements must be explained to the court before the divorce can proceed.
