Common questions about AI legal support and divorce law
Yes. Online divorce applications are processed through the Commonwealth Courts Portal, whether filing individually or jointly with your spouse. You must satisfy eligibility criteria and submit supporting documentation.
Separation occurs when couples decide their relationship has ended and begin living independently. This can happen under one roof if you maintain separate lives. Divorce is the formal legal procedure that officially terminates the marriage under Australian law.
Legal separation requires no court filing. You're separated once one or both partners decide to end the relationship. Couples can be legally separated while cohabiting, provided they demonstrate independent living arrangements.
Australian law requires 12 months of separation before filing for divorce. Reconciliation periods exceeding three months may restart the separation clock. This timeframe applies whether you're living separately or under the same roof.
