The ending of a marriage does not have to be messy

It is important to know that a Divorce does not divide the property of the parties. A separate property settlement by Court Orders or Financial Agreement is necessary to divide matrimonial property. Divorce and property settlement have significant effects on each other, and Divorce is an important step in the separation and property division process.

Once Divorced, there is a 12 month time limit in which to commence or complete property settlement with the Court. Divorce also changes the parties’ entitlements to each others Will/Estate.

Divorce can be completed jointly by both parties completing the Application, or solely by one party making the Application. A joint Divorce Application is simpler because it does not require the parties to attend Court.

We can assist you in respect of Divorce by:-

• Arranging a joint Divorce with the other party

• Making the Court Divorce Application

• Arranging substituted service if you do not know where the other party is

• Seeking an urgent Divorce if you intend to remarry imminently

• Attending the Divorce Hearing if required

When to complete a Divorce can vary significantly depending on your circumstances. Your ability to claim certain assets and claim against the other party’s estate can be significantly effected by becoming divorced.
