Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a divorce?
Finalising a divorce typically takes 3-4 months. The process is usually quite straightforward, requiring a sole or joint application to be filed with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Getting a divorce does not finalise parenting or financial matters.
What is mediation?
Mediation is a process where a neutral third party helps resolve disputes between former partners. Trusted legal advice from a professional family lawyer can guide you through mediation for financial matters, property settlements, or child custody, avoiding lengthy court procedures.
Do we have to go to court to finalise our financial matters or parenting arrangements?
Not necessarily; in fact, in many instances, if you and your former partner can reach an agreement, you won’t need to go to court. Trusted family lawyers may help you reach agreements out of court, especially in less complex cases. If mediation fails, highly experienced family lawyers may recommend court proceedings to resolve financial matters, parenting arrangements, or spousal maintenance disputes.
Do your lawyers provide quotes?
Yes, they will always provide a clear and transparent quote, offering fixed fees for their services. Our trusted family lawyers can provide a quote for advice, draft legal documents, and provide legal representation for relationship breakdowns, financial settlements, and other family law matters, helping to manage costs effectively.
How much will it cost for a lawyer to help me with divorce or separation?
The cost of a professional family lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case. Fixed fees are common for straightforward divorces or separations, while hourly rates may be required for more complex legal issues such as property settlements, family violence, or spousal maintenance. Highly experienced family lawyers, or those who specialise, generally charge higher fees to reflect their skills and knowledge. Most divorce law firms will understand your matter and, from there, be able to give you an idea of the costs involved.
What is the Queensland Law Society?
The Queensland Law Society is a professional body representing lawyers. It offers trusted legal advice and supports legal expertise across Queensland.
Will recent changes to the Family Law Act affect my matter?
Recent changes to the Family Law Act may affect your matter, particularly regarding parenting arrangements, property settlements, and spousal maintenance. You can read more about the changes here. If your matter was finalised before the changes, they won’t apply to any agreements already made. Please contact the Go To Court team of family lawyers in Brisbane if you would like to understand how these changes impact your situation. For complex legal issues, seeking advice from highly experienced family lawyers is essential for clarity and guidance.
