The divorce process for FIFO workers can be complex and time consuming. It’s important to understand the timeline of a typical divorce or de facto separation in order to plan accordingly. Generally, divorces and de facto separations take anywhere from two months to one year to complete depending on several factors including the complexity of the case, if there are any disagreements between parties, or how quickly documents are filed, but can sometimes take much longer if Court proceedings have to be commenced.
Ultimately having knowledge about the average timeframe associated with such separations allows both involved parties to prepare financially and emotionally ahead of time allowing them greater peace of mind going forward.
