A divorce is not mandatory for couples who are looking to end their relationship. They may also choose to separate and enter into a separation agreement. Although not the only option for couples who are looking to end their relationship, a divorce provides couples with a legal and formal option to end their relationship. Our family divorce lawyer at Brace Law will be able to help guide you through this process.

Breakdown of Marriage
The process around terminating a legal marriage is regulated by The Divorce Act 1985. When a couple experiences a breakdown in their marriage, they can bring an application for divorce to the Superior Court of Justice or the unified Family Court.
A breakdown in a relationship is never easy. At Brace Law, we help you manage and provide consultation during this difficult time. Contact us at to get in touch with a family divorce lawyer today.
Types Of divorces We handle
Uncontested
Divorce
Getting a divorce does not always mean a legal battle. Many divorce cases are uncontested, meaning that the couple is able to work out their issues without resorting to a trial. Even with disputes and disagreements between separating couples, it is still possible to divide property and assets and determine child arrangements without going to court.
In order to “qualify” for an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse must live separately for a period of 12 months, or 1 year and if there are any children, there must be reasonable arrangements for them in place.
Contested
Divorce
A contested divorce is one in which spouses cannot agree on any of the following issues: child support and custody, division of property and assets and spousal support. There are several dispute resolution tools that can be used to determine specific issues, such as mediation and arbitration and if issues still cannot be resolved, disputing couples must proceed to court and ultimately a trial, if necessary.
