Learn about FVROsDecide where children will live, time with each parent, and how decisions are made. Family Dispute Resolution is usually required first.
Learn about Parenting OrdersDivide assets (home, super, savings) and liabilities (debts, loans). Must be done within 2 years of divorce.
Learn about Property DivisionYou must be separated for 12 months before applying. The divorce itself does not deal with children or property.
