Do I Need a Lawyer to Apply for Divorce in Victoria?


You can apply for divorce without a lawyer, but professional guidance helps you avoid errors and understand broader implications, including property settlement and parenting arrangements. A qualified family lawyer can manage the process efficiently and flag issues you may not have considered.

Does a Divorce Application Also Resolve Property and Parenting Matters?


No. In Australia, a divorce order only formally ends the marriage. Separate legal steps are required to resolve property settlement, child support, and parenting arrangements. The divorce lawyer can assist with all of these connected matters. Visit the property settlement services page to learn more.
