seperation/divorce

i was wondering if any of you ladies out there now how to go about seperating/divorcing my husband. ive done a few google serches and its just confusing me even more, i have no idea where to even start. do we have to be seperated for 12 months before we can apply for divorce or what? i have no idea.
thanks for any help

Hi there

Yes you do have to be separated for 12 months before you can apply for divorce. Also, the court will not grant a divorce if the childrens' matters are not finalised first.

You can do the paperwork yourself for the divorce, the court administration will post them to you or you go in & pick them up. Not sure if they are online or not.

There is also a fee to be paid when you lodge the application.

Hope that helps. Not a pleasant time for you. All the best. smile
