Experienced Divorce Solicitors in Liverpool NSW
Applying for Divorce in NSW
In Australia, divorce is based on the principle of no-fault divorce. This means the Court does not consider who was responsible for the breakdown of the marriage. The only ground for divorce is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.
Generally, to apply for a divorce:
-
You must have been separated for at least 12 months.
-
At least one spouse must satisfy the residency or citizenship requirements.
-
If there are children under 18 years of age, the Court must be satisfied that appropriate arrangements have been made for their care.
Our Liverpool divorce lawyers can prepare and lodge your divorce application, ensure all required documents are completed correctly, arrange service where necessary, and guide you through each stage of the process.
Divorce Is Only One Part of Separation
Many people believe that obtaining a divorce automatically finalises all financial and parenting matters. This is a common misconception.
A divorce legally ends your marriage, but it does not determine:
-
How property will be divided.
-
Parenting arrangements.
-
Child support.
-
Spousal maintenance.
These issues often require separate legal advice and, where appropriate, formal agreements or Court orders.
Importantly, strict time limits may apply to property settlement and spousal maintenance applications after a divorce becomes final. Seeking legal advice early can help protect your rights.
Property Settlements After Divorce
Separating couples often need to divide assets, liabilities and financial resources. Every property settlement is different and depends on factors such as:
Financial contributions
Non-financial contributions
Homemaker and parenting contributions
Future financial needs
The justice and equity of the proposed division
Our divorce solicitors work to achieve practical property settlement outcomes through negotiation, mediation or Court proceedings where necessary.
Parenting Arrangements Following Separation
If children are involved, their best interests remain the primary consideration.
Our family law team assists parents with:
-
Parenting Plans
-
Parenting Orders
-
Schooling disputes
-
Relocation matters
-
Holiday arrangements
-
Communication arrangements
-
Recovery Orders
-
Grandparents' rights
We encourage practical solutions that minimise conflict while protecting children's wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to be separated before applying for divorce?
Generally, you must be separated for at least 12 months before applying for a divorce.
​
Do I need a divorce lawyer?
Although you are not legally required to have a lawyer, obtaining legal advice can help ensure your application is completed correctly and that you understand your rights regarding parenting, property settlement and spousal maintenance.
​
Can we still live together during separation?
Yes. Separation under one roof may be recognised in certain circumstances, provided sufficient evidence is available.
Does divorce divide our assets?
No. Property settlement is a separate legal process that should be addressed independently of the divorce application.
​
Can I apply for divorce if my spouse refuses?
Yes. You may make a sole application for divorce if the legal requirements are met.

Dividing property after separation can often be a complex and emotional process. A property settlement addresses the division of all assets, liabilities, and financial resources between parties, including real estate, savings, investments, superannuation, businesses, and debts.
Separation and divorce can affect both married and de facto relationships. Separation generally occurs when parties decide to end their relationship and live separately, while divorce is the formal legal process that officially ends a marriage.
Arrangements for children after separation are guided by the best interests of the child under the Family Law Act. Parenting arrangements can address matters such as living arrangements, time spent with each parent, education, communication, and other important aspects of a child’s wellbeing.
A Consent Order is a legally binding Court Order that reflects an agreement reached between parties to resolve disputes without the need for contested Court proceedings. Consent Orders are commonly used in family law matters to formalise arrangements relating to parenting and the division of property, providing certainty and enforceable outcomes for both parties. By resolving matters through agreement, Consent Orders can also help parties avoid lengthy litigation, reduce legal costs, and achieve a more efficient resolution.
A Financial Agreement is a legally binding contract between parties in a married or de facto relationship that outlines how financial matters will be managed and resolved. These agreements can address issues such as property, assets, liabilities, and financial support, and may be entered into before, during, or after a relationship or marriage. Financial Agreements can provide certainty, protect assets, and help minimise future disputes.
Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive, controlling, or coercive behaviour used by one person to exert power over another within a relationship. It can include physical, emotional, psychological, financial, or verbal abuse. In family law matters involving children, the Family Court places significant importance on protecting children from physical or psychological harm, with the safety and wellbeing of the children taking priority in parenting arrangements.
