Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the divorce process take?
In Australia, the minimum time for a divorce is 12 months and 1 day from the date of separation. The actual application process typically takes 4-6 months after filing.
Do I need to go to court?
Not always. If your divorce is uncontested and there are no children under 18, you may not need to attend court. We handle most paperwork and can represent you if attendance is required.
What about property and children?
Property settlement and parenting arrangements are separate from the divorce itself. We can help you negotiate these matters through mediation or court if necessary.
Can we use the same lawyer?
No, each party should have independent legal advice. However, we can help facilitate communication and negotiation with your former partner's legal team.

Mohamed Ali
I’ve had a really positive experience with PAL Legal Services. From the start, Pal had a clear strategy and I always felt like I knew where things were heading. As a dad fighting for custody, having someone who was willing to fight hard for me made a huge difference. Pal has been extremely knowledgeable, determined and supportive throughout my matter, and we’ve achieved favourable outcomes along the way, including a settlement that I’m very happy with. I also want to give a special mention to Ela, who has been absolutely awesome. She’s always been helpful, responsive and supportive, and has made the whole process a lot easier. I’m really glad I chose Pal and her team. I would highly recommend PAL Legal Services to anyone needing help with a family law matter.
