Overview

The law relating to divorce and property settlements now covers de facto relationships and demands the parties undertake dispute resolution before filing for divorce. The only ground for divorce is irretrievable marriage breakdown; certain conditions, for instance around separation, must be met.

This section includes the following topics:

• Family Law Act
• Family dispute resolution
• Divorce
• Injunctions
• Intervening parties
• Property
• Appeals
• Costs and fees
• Contacts
