Divorce & Separation
Navigating the end of a relationship with care and expertise. We guide you through both collaborative and contested divorce proceedings.
Divorce is a significant life event that brings both emotional and legal challenges. At Rayner Song Family Lawyers, we provide clear, compassionate guidance through every stage of the divorce process, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations under the Family Law Act 1975.
Australia requires a separation period of at least 12 months before filing for divorce, and there are specific eligibility criteria that must be met. We help you navigate these requirements, prepare the necessary documentation, and file your divorce application with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
Whether your divorce is amicable or contested, we advise on all related matters including property settlement, parenting arrangements, and spousal maintenance. Our goal is to achieve a resolution that protects your interests while minimising conflict where possible.
We also assist with divorce applications that involve international elements, such as overseas marriages or a spouse living abroad, ensuring compliance with both Australian and international legal requirements.
