Unfortunately, because you’ve been married for less than two years, you cannot use our fixed-fee service.
This is because you’re required to:
• Attend counselling to discuss the possibility of reconciliation with your spouse
• Seek the permission of the Court to apply for a divorce; OR
• Wait until you have been separated for at least two years before filing your Application.
If you would like to discuss this further, please contact us via email enquiries@amicusfamilylaw.com.au
Before you decide whether to apply for a divorce jointly or solely, there are a couple of things you should know.
Firstly, if you and your spouse jointly file an Application for Divorce, you do not need to serve the Application on the other party. However, you will both need to sign the same Application for Divorce in front of a lawyer, Justice of the Peace or Authorised Staff Member of the Court. You’ll then need to return the original Application to our office for filing.
If you make an Application for Divorce on your own (without your spouse’s signature on the Application), we will be required to serve a sealed copy of the Application on them.
