Divorce Lawyers Perth
Divorce. It’s a small word with big implications.
In the legal sense, it’s the term used for the termination of a marriage between two parties. You can apply to the Family Court of Western Australia for a divorce.
To apply for a divorce, you need to have been separated from your spouse for 12 months or more. After this time, either party (or both of you) can begin legal proceedings to terminate your marriage.
However, there are also implications for your property settlement in relation to the date that you get divorced. We often see people who have left their run a bit late in terms of resolving their property settlement, after getting a divorce. We are here to help you with timelines, to make sure everything gets done at the right time.
