Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between a divorce and an annulment?

    There is a simple distinction between a divorce and an annulment. A divorce is the process of ending a legally valid marriage, whereas an annulment invalidates a marriage that was never legally valid.

  • How much does a divorce cost?

    The cost of a divorce depends on several factors, including the complexity of your case and whether you are able to reach an agreement with your spouse or partner. 

  • How is spousal support determined?

    Spousal support is typically determined by looking at the financial needs of the spouse who is seeking support and the ability of the other spouse to pay. Factors that are considered include the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, and each spouse’s earning capacity.

  • How long does a divorce take?

    The length of time it takes to finalise a divorce depends on the individual circumstances of each case. Generally speaking, the divorce process can take anywhere from a few months to a year or more.
