- Joint divorce applications where both parties agree to apply for divorce together
- Sole divorce applications where one party files the application on their own
- Divorce paperwork and filing support so the process is handled properly from the start

Divorce, Property Settlement, and Parenting: What You Need to Know
Many of our Adelaide clients are surprised to learn that divorce does not finalise everything after separation. Your divorce application is a separate legal step from parenting arrangements and property settlement.
That matters because you may still need to make decisions about where children will live, how time will be shared, how assets and debts will be divided, and whether formal orders or agreements are needed.
Family Law Resolutions can help you understand how these issues fit together, what needs attention now, and what can be dealt with next. Getting advice early can help you move forward with more clarity and avoid delays or unnecessary mistakes.
Our commitment to you is to look at the full picture so the advice you receive always reflects your broader situation, not just one part of it.
Looking for a More Constructive Way to Resolve Things?
For some Adelaide clients, a more constructive path can make the separation process easier to manage. Depending on the issues involved, this may include divorce mediation, lawyer-assisted negotiation, or formalising an agreement once terms have been reached.
This approach does not replace the divorce application itself, but it can help resolve the parenting or property issues that often surround it.
At Family Law Resolutions, we help Adelaide clients prepare for mediation, understand their legal position, and move through the mediation process with clear legal advice and representation. The mediation service itself is provided by an external mediator, but we work alongside you to protect your interests and support a practical outcome.

FAQs
Do I need a divorce lawyer in Adelaide to apply for a divorce?
You are not legally required to have a divorce lawyer to apply for divorce, but legal advice can still be very helpful. A divorce lawyer can help you understand the process, prepare the paperwork properly, and identify whether there are other issues you also need to deal with, such as parenting arrangements or property settlement.
What is the difference between a sole and joint divorce application?
A joint divorce application is made by both parties together. A sole divorce application is made by one party alone. If you are applying on your own, there are extra steps involved, including serving the documents correctly.
Family Law Resolutions helps Adelaide clients with both types of applications.
Can I get divorced before property settlement is finalised?
Yes. Divorce and property settlement are separate legal issues. You do not need to finalise property settlement before applying for divorce, but there are time limits that may apply once your divorce becomes final. Getting advice early can help you plan the right order of steps.
Do I need divorce mediation in Adelaide before applying for divorce?
Not usually. Mediation is not generally required just to apply for divorce. It may still be helpful if you need to resolve related issues such as parenting arrangements or property settlement. We can help you understand whether mediation is worth considering in your situation.
How long does divorce take in Australia?
The timing can vary depending on the type of application and whether any issues arise during the process. In general, the Court process takes time even in straightforward matters.
If you want a clearer idea of what timing may look like in your situation, we can talk you through it in your free consultation.
How much does a divorce lawyer cost in Adelaide?
The cost depends on the type of matter and the level of support you need. Family Law Resolutions offers fixed-fee options for many divorce matters, which can give you greater cost certainty from the outset.
We can explain the likely costs and next steps during your first consultation. Or, you can explore our pricing here.
Can you help if my spouse does not want to cooperate?
Yes. If your spouse will not cooperate, you may still be able to proceed with a sole divorce application. There may be extra steps involved, including serving the application correctly, but our team can guide you through that process.
Can Family Law Resolutions help Adelaide clients remotely?
Yes. We assist clients across Australia, including Adelaide and remote South Australia. Our service model makes it easy to access clear family law advice and practical support without unnecessary delay.
