Divorce in New South Wales (NSW)

In NSW, divorce is governed by the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) and is the legal process of dissolving a marriage. The key aspects of divorce in NSW include:

  1. Grounds for divorce: The only ground for divorce in Australia is the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, which is established by the couple living separately and apart for at least 12 months.
  2. Separation period: Couples must have been separated for at least 12 months before applying for a divorce.
  3. Joint or sole application: Divorce applications can be made jointly by both parties or by one party alone.
  4. Divorce order: If the court is satisfied that the legal requirements are met, it will grant a divorce order, which legally terminates the marriage.
  5. Ancillary matters: Divorce proceedings often involve ancillary matters such as property settlement, spousal maintenance, and parenting arrangements, which can be addressed through court orders or binding financial agreements.
  6. Remarriage: Once the divorce order becomes final (after a one-month period), the parties are free to remarry.


It’s crucial
 to seek legal advice and representation from experienced family lawyers to navigate the divorce process effectively and ensure that all legal requirements are met. Proper documentation and adherence to legal procedures are essential to avoid potential complications or delays.

Facts About Divorce

To be granted a divorce in Australia, the court must be satisfied that your relationship has broken down irretrievably. A couple must have undergone a separation period of 12 months in order to prove their separation. In some cases, a couple that is separated but still living together is still able to prove that they are no longer in a relationship and apply for divorce.

Divorce is usually granted approximately three months after the date you file your application. Once you have filed for divorce, the court will provide a hearing date. After a divorce is granted by the court, it becomes final one month and one day after that date.
