When filing for divorce, you can either do a sole or joint application. As a sole applicant, you are the only one who has to sign the papers in front of an authorised witness such as a Justice of Peace or lawyer. You will then need to serve them to the other party.

In the case of a joint application, both parties must sign the Affidavit for e-Filing the divorce in front of a witness. The parties do not need to sign simultaneously. This can be done at different times and the witnesses can also be different. Since both parties have already signed the papers, you are not required to serve the documents to the other party.

At Arcadian Legal, we appreciate how cumbersome and overwhelming the whole process can be. You obviously want to get everything right so you don’t have to re-live these difficult moments in your life. You need a lawyer on your side that will make this process easier.

Contact us today and we’ll do everything we can to help you with your divorce.

According to the ABS, Australia saw a 13.6% increase in divorces in 2021 compared to 2020. Some of the most common issues include infidelity, trust issues, domestic violence, financial problems and lack of communication.

If you’re eligible to seek a divorce in Australia, there is a specific process you need to follow. It starts with eFiling an application for divorce through the Commonwealth Courts portal. You will also need to put all your documents together, including marriage certificate, proof of citizenship or residency, visa documents, counselling certificate if married under 2 years and more.

All this can be overwhelming to put together especially since you’ve likely never done this before and are going through a difficult time on your own. Let the compassionate lawyers at Arcadian Legal help. We know the process and can help make it as pain-free and seamless for you.

In NSW, if both parents pass away, there are processes in place to ensure the wellbeing of the child under 18. Factors such as the child’s age, existing family arrangements and family ties and wills will be considered. If the parents have appointed a guardian, then the child will be placed with them. In the absence of a will and appointed guardian, anyone with a relationship such as a grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt or family friend can apply for guardianship, which will then be decided by the Family Court.

Division of assets in a divorce isn’t always as straightforward as a 50/50 split. It will involve identifying and classifying marital assets, including properties, possessions acquired during the marriage, earning capabilities of both parties, child support, spouse maintenance, superannuation and more. Handling these matters outside court can help you and your ex negotiate a fairer settlement without the time and expense of a courtroom battle. For a divorce lawyer who will protect your rights and negotiate on your behalf, contact Arcadian Legal today.

A parenting order specifies details about parenting measures for a child and is enforced by the court. If you and your ex are unable to come to a reasonable conclusion about custody arrangements, we can apply to the court for a parenting order based on the best interests of your child.

If you’re in a situation where an existing parenting order no longer works for your child, we can make an application to the court on your behalf to change existing arrangements. In case the order has been breached and you believe the other party isn’t justified, we can also apply to the court to enforce it on your behalf.

For any matters related to child custody and parenting orders or if you need a children's lawyer who will fight to protect the best interests of your child, contact Arcadian Legal today.
