Townsville Divorce Lawyers
Divorce lawyers can reduce stress and ensure that they reach the best result for everyone involved.
Although nobody enters marriage with the intention of one day getting a divorce, the unfortunate reality is that separations and divorces occur quite frequently. If your marriage is coming to an end, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Divorces are difficult, especially with the legal and financial paperwork, dividing assets, arranging parenting, and child support. Our divorce lawyers in Townsville can help you understand family law and the process, costs, and decisions you must make.
Without legal representation, you may not know what you are entitled to and thus accept less than you should. With a family law expert’s help, you can protect yourself, your children, your property, and your finances. Usually, we do this without you even having to go to Court.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I apply for a divorce?
In Australia, before applying for a divorce, the law requires that you be separated for a minimum of 12 months. Additionally, it is crucial to make proper arrangements for the welfare of children before court proceedings begin to grant a divorce.
What if we still live together?
It’s possible to be separated from your partner while living in the same household. This often happens when parents separate but still want to take care of their children while finalising the parenting arrangements. It’s important to provide evidence that the separation is genuine.
Who pays for a divorce?
The applicant typically pays for divorce filing, but the former spouse may agree to split the expense.
How long does a divorce take?
Typically, a divorce can take three to four months to go through the court proceedings.
How are assets divided in a divorce?
A judicial officer’s decision is based on the specific circumstances of each case. Therefore, each property settlement will be unique. The court will evaluate each applicant’s income, assets, and available resources, as well as their future earning potential. The importance and weight given to each of these factors will depend on your individual circumstances.
By working with a family law firm, we can guide you through this process and increase your chances of a successful outcome.
I want a divorce, but I don’t want to go to Court, is that possible?
It is common to avoid going to Family Court. This is done by utilising Family Mediation. Our divorce lawyers can guide you through mediation to help you avoid any disputes.
Will a divorce settle property and spousal maintenance issues as well?
Divorce doesn’t address property or children matters. You will need to apply for settlement and custody within 12 months of divorce.
Do I need a reason to get a divorce?
There does not need to be a reason or a person at fault for the separation for a divorce to be granted.
What are the benefits of seeking legal advice prior to divorce?
Prior legal advice before divorce will help you understand your entitlements related to property and children.
It will enable you to negotiate better during mediation and ensure a fair outcome for you and your family.
