The family law system in Australia is a no-fault system. This means, it does not matter who hurt who and what they did to cause the separation.
Yes, divorce and separation can hurt but it is usually conflict that is toxic and damaging to your future co-parenting relationship, not divorce itself.
Consider options to divorce without court. Going to the Family Court is the quickest way to increase your family law costs and should be a last resort.
If you struggle to communicate, speak with a counsellor or talk to us about getting skills through a communication course designed for separating or separated families. You do not have to be parents to talk to each other. Communication is essential for all couples moving forward. In our experience, couples who focus on their children’s needs and look to the future reach agreement quicker and save family law costs along the way.
