Family Law

Going through a breakdown of a relationship can be extremely stressful and often places people in a situation where they're unable to move on with their lives. At Ters Legal, our solicitors understand this level of distress. Whether it involves property, divorce or children, it is our objective to obtain the best possible outcome for our clients.

At Ters Legal, we understand that court cases can be relatively expensive and time consuming, which is why we're committed to resolving disputes at the earliest possible opportunity by implementing negotiations, mediation and a collaborative approach. However, we understand that not all family law disputes are able to be resolved through those methods and it's necessary to seek the intervention of the Courts to be able to reach a conclusion of the issues at hand.

DIVORCE LAW

A divorce application can only be filed once a married couple have been separated for 12 months.

This is regarded as a sufficient amount of time to demonstrate the likelihood of the couple not reconciling. Although living apart typically denotes that a couple has separate residences, it is possible to be ‘separated under one roof’.

It is important to be aware that couples who have been married for less than two years are legally required to attend counselling before they are able to file for divorce. However, in some instances, such as whether there has been domestic violence, this requirement may not be applicable.
