Are there any additional fees?

In most cases, the above process occurs without difficulty. In some cases, however, there may be additional issues that need to be resolved and we do charge extra for this work on an hourly basis if required.

Examples can be:

• If the other party refuses to sign the application;
• Difficulties regarding the jurisdiction to apply for a divorce, ie. if you or your spouse are not Australian citizens; or
• If the other party denies receipt of the application.

If you decide to make an application for divorce, we recommend that you speak to your spouse before making contact with our firm so that these difficulties can be identified as soon as possible.
