It is not illegal to apply for a divorce by yourself without the consent of your previous spouse. This process of applying for divorce by a single party is known as a sole divorce application. This application form is submitted if your former partner refuses to get a divorce or you cannot locate your partner.
The other party has the right to know and be informed about the divorce hearing. They are also required to receive, read, and sign the sole divorce application. This process is called “a service of documents.”
If your former spouse refuses to sign the divorce application, that’s fine. We will simply affirm that we gave it to them and proceed with the divorce.
A divorce application can still be submitted even though you live under the same roof. However, you are required to provide supporting affidavits in the divorce application that the court will be satisfied with. Our divorce lawyers at Gold Coast have put together a list of information that must go in the affidavit:
If you have assets involved in your divorce, it is not dealt with by a divorce. It can be dealt with under a property settlement agreement. If you have assets, we recommend you book in for an Initial Fresh Start Consultation.
If you cannot locate your partner, we will help you find them. We will be required to prove that we have attempted to find your partner.
We have several methods to locate lost partners such as:
After trying these methods, we are allowed to then apply for substituted services.
We have gone through this exact process with several clients. It is normal to feel overwhelmed and extremely emotional. A divorce is a very stressful, frustrating, and emotional process to go through for both parties.
