Frequently Asked Questions
In Australia, you must be separated from your spouse for at least 12 months with no reasonable chance of reconciliation before applying for divorce. Separation can still be recognised even if you continue living under the same roof after the official separation date.

Yes, you can apply for a divorce in Australia if: You or your spouse consider Australia your permanent home and intend to stay indefinitely, or You or your spouse have lived in Australia for at least 12 months before filing. If you were married overseas, you can still get divorced here. However, if your marriage certificate is in another language, you must provide a certified English translation.
To apply, you’ll need an Application for Divorce and a copy of your Marriage Certificate. A filing fee applies, but you may be eligible for a reduced rate based on your circumstances. If you and your spouse continued living together after separation, you may also need to submit an Affidavit to provide additional details to the Court.
In most cases, you won’t need to attend court unless: You have children under 18, or You and your spouse continued living together after separation. If you and your spouse file a joint Application for Divorce, neither of you will be required to attend court.
Once your application is lodged, the Court will set a hearing date. If the divorce is approved, it becomes final one month after the hearing. The team at Kells can assist with preparing and filing your application and represent you in court if necessary.
