4. Divorce We can provide you with information and advice on these issues and assist you in streamlining the divorce process and making it as pain-free as possible. The court does not need a reason for the breakdown of your marriage or your reasons for requesting a divorce. It only requires that the marriage has broken down irretrievably and that you have been separated for 12 months.

5. Property Settlement You can apply for property settlement at any time after separation and do not have to wait until you obtain a divorce. In the case of de facto couples, you have 24 months from the date of separation to obtain a property settlement. The first step in the process is to identify and value the asset pool. This includes all assets and debts of both parties – including those which were brought to the relationship initially and those accumulated during the course of the relationship.

6. Children's Issues Separation is a difficult time for couples and more so where children are involved. Adelaide Family Lawyers can advise you about reaching agreement on living arrangements and can refer you to community-based organisations in the first instance if you feel you are able to make arrangements with the other parent or alternatively can assist you to formalise such arrangements to make them enforceable.
