What Our Clients Say About Us

Clients describe our team as professional, empathetic and clear in the way we explain options and next steps.

Divorce affects living arrangements, children and finances at the same time. Our role is to take the legal weight off your shoulders, protect your interests and keep the process as calm and low-cost as possible.

To apply for a divorce in Australia you generally need to have been separated for at least twelve months and to consider the marriage over for good. You can be separated while still living under the same roof, though that needs to be explained carefully in the application.

We confirm your eligibility, prepare the application, and deal with situations such as a marriage overseas or difficulty locating a former partner. Once granted, a divorce takes effect one month and one day later.

Divorce is separate from sorting out property and parenting, and time limits begin once you divorce. Getting early advice means nothing important is left too late.

Most matters are resolved by negotiation or mediation rather than a contested hearing, and we work toward that wherever it is realistic. If a court appearance is ever needed, we prepare your material properly and appear with you.

Throughout, you deal with a real person who knows your matter, and we are upfront about costs so there are no surprises.

How can we help?

We support you at every stage, from working out whether you are eligible to apply through to finalising parenting and property. We prepare the paperwork, manage filing and deadlines, and keep you updated. Whether your situation is straightforward or involves children, a business or complex finances, we tailor our advice to suit.

Why QFLP

People in Red Hill choose us because we are approachable, organised and genuinely on their side, and because we are right on their doorstep. After the first meeting you receive a short written plan with the steps, documents and timeframes. We prepare and lodge applications and consent orders and keep conflict low.

Separation and divorce: what to expect

A straightforward divorce is usually decided without anyone attending court. We make sure the application and supporting affidavits are complete, manage service on your former partner, and monitor the dates so your matter stays on track.

How we help you through divorce

We handle the practical detail so you do not have to. That means drafting and lodging the application, arranging service, preparing affidavits where separation was under one roof, and keeping you informed at each step.

  • The twelve-month separation requirement explained
  • Affidavits prepared for separation under one roof
  • Service arranged, including substituted service where needed

Getting the paperwork right the first time keeps your divorce moving and avoids needless delay.

Children and parenting after separation

Where children are involved, the priority is a workable arrangement that supports their wellbeing. Parenting is handled through parenting plans or consent orders, not the divorce itself. We help you set clear terms for school weeks, holidays and changeovers so both parents know where they stand.

  • Parenting plans and consent orders drafted in plain English
  • Preparation and support for family dispute resolution
  • Arrangements that reflect the best interests of your child
  • Safety concerns and family violence handled sensitively

A stable parenting arrangement, settled early, takes pressure off the whole family.

Property settlement and your divorce

Dividing property after separation means identifying everything you and your former partner own and owe, including superannuation, and reaching a fair split. We build a clear balance sheet, exchange financial disclosure, and document the agreement through consent orders so it is binding. Property settlement is tied to your divorce by strict time limits, so it is best not to leave it too long.
