Online Application for Divorce

There are a number of steps involved in applying for a divorce. To simplify this process, the Family Law Courts has developed an online Application for Divorce.

What is the online divorce application?

The online divorce application is an electronic web-based form available at www.divorce.gov.au.

The online version has the same questions as the hardcopy divorce application. However, the online divorce application is designed to be faster and easier to complete, and provides online instructions to help you complete the form accurately.

How does the online divorce application work?

The online divorce application works by presenting you with a series of questions, some require validation before you can proceed to the next page.

This function will highlight the question/s you must answer (for example, the date of marriage and date of separation) and provide you with an explanation.

Another unique feature of the online divorce application is that it only presents you with questions applicable to your situation and hides questions that are irrelevant. For example, if you indicate there are no children of the marriage, further questions relating to children will not appear in the form.

The online divorce application features pop-up messages that appear when you provide certain answers. For example, a pop-up message will appear if you indicate that you do not have a copy of your marriage certificate.

Additionally, certain questions provide links to more information to help you complete the form.

More information
