Separation and Divorce

Divorce is the legal end of a marriage. The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia has the power to deal with divorce under Part VI of the Family Law Act 1975. Spouses do not need to prove who caused the breakdown of the marriage. However, Family law requires the parties to satisfy that:

The marriage broke down and there is no reasonable chance they will get back together.
You have lived separately for at least 12 months. However, couples can separate under one roof.
If there are children under 18 in the marriage, couples need to make proper arrangements for the children.

The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia has jurisdiction granting divorce if either you or your spouse:

Live in Australia and intend to live in Australia indefinitely; or
Are an Australian Citizen; or
Live in Australia ordinarily and have done so for 12 months immediately before filing for divorce application.

Family Law- Divorce in Australia is “No Fault”​

Since the Promulgation of the Family Law Act 1975, no divorcing party needs to be found “fault” or “guilt” for getting a divorce order.

Divorce can be applied for by:

One spouse; or
Both spouses

Dividing Family Assets after Marriage Breakdown

It is not simple to decide if a wife or husband should get more assets after separation. According to the Family Law Act and case law, the court normally takes step by step to make the adjustment between the wife and the husband, to make just and equitable orders based on s79 and s75 of the Family Law Act.

First of all, the total value of the property needs to be ascertained, including your property, cars, superannuation, investment, debts and so on.
Secondly, in accordance with s79 of the Family Law Act, the court is to consider the financial and non-financial contributions made by husband and wife, for example, who paid the mortgage and who took care of young children and domestic work;

Lastly, pursuant to s75 of the Family Law Act, the court is to take into account of parties’ future needs, which the court considers the parties’ age, health, earning capacities and so on.

CFS Legal’s dedicated lawyer at Campbelltown guides step by step to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your children.

Child Custody Lawyers at Campbelltown

Children’s arrangement is the key issue when separation occurs. The usual questions raised are:

Who will have custody of the children?
Who will the children live with?
How much time will the children spend with my former partner?

Part VII of the Family Law Act 1975 gives the Court power to make orders for the care and welfare of children in Australia (except Western Australia). Orders about children are commonly referred to as parenting orders, even though they can apply to a person who is not a parent of the child the proceedings relate to.

The Court must assess the best interests of the child as its paramount consideration when determining any dispute about children, for example:

Whom the child should live and/or spend time;
Who should make decisions about a child;
Which school the child should go to;
If a child should have a medical procedure.

The Family Law Act 1975, provides guidance as to how the Court determines a child’s best interests, however, the Court has the discretion to take into account anything it thinks relevant in determining those best interests

The Court is required to consider the benefit to the child, to have a meaningful relationship with both of their parents, and the need to protect the child from any physical and/or psychological harm or exposure to any abuse or family violence, which is the “primary consideration” as to determine a child’s best interests. The Court must give greater consideration to protecting the child from harm.(see section 60CC(2) and 60CC(2A) of the Family Law Act 1975).

Family Court Presumptions

If there are reasonable grounds to believe that a parent of the child is abusive and harming the child, the presumption does not apply. (Section 61DA(2)).
