Significant Hike in Divorce Fees Expected

Unhappy couples considering divorce will be even unhappy with the new changes announced in the government’s new Federal Budget.

The Government has announced that as of 1 July 2015, the fee for obtaining a divorce from the Federal Circuit Court will dramatically increase. The fee to apply for divorce is currently $845.00; but it is estimated to rise to $1,500.00 or more when these changes come into effect.

If you own a concession or healthcare card, you may be able to apply for a reduction of the Court filing fee, although it is likely that this reduced fee may also be increased.  If you and your former spouse have been separated for 12 months and are considering divorce, you may wish to make the application prior to 1 July 2015 to avoid paying almost double in Government charges. If you require the assistance of an experienced lawyer and solicitor, Glenn Duker can help.

Protect Your Assets 

There can be other financial irritants related to divorce, as well. If you separate, your former spouse will still get your assets unless you write a new will. A Divorce Order or a new will works to nullify your former spouse’s claims to your possessions, property, superannuation and life insurance.

If you and your partner have been separated for 12 months or more and are seeking divorce, please get in touch with lawyer and solicitor Glenn Duker as soon as possible. He can provide trusted legal advice, assist you in preparing the application for divorce as well as provide support during this difficult time.

The Defendant VS the Media with Glenn Duker, Lawyer

You’d be living under a rock if you hadn’t heard about the ASADA driven peptides investigation that rocked the Australian sporting landscape, dragging two marquee clubs in two different codes through a media hell-storm. Regardless of who’s to blame, there’s one thing you simply cannot do without in tough situations like these – a reliable, experienced lawyer and solicitor like Glenn Duker.

This has obviously been a high-profile case in Melbourne and throughout Australia – even registering a blip worldwide at one point! Positions like this can be extremely difficult for defendants and the prosecution alike. How do you let the facts speak for themselves when such an enormous contingent of the media is feasting off every theory, every fabricated truth and any vague hint of information? Every legal situation is different, and there’s no easy answer.

The best way to attack such a situation is by employing the services of the best legal team you can find. A reputable lawyer and solicitor, such as Glenn Duker, will be your first line of defence in both the court of law, and the court of public opinion.

If you think about the Essendon Football Club and the Cronulla Sharks, we may never know what those players were injected with – and yet the public perception is extremely negative. That’s the power of the media. We present a united team. There’s no point splintering into factions, all it will do is weaken you resolve and severely weaken your defence.  A reputable lawyer will help you combat this if you ever find yourself embroiled in a high-profile lawsuit. In a perfect world, you won’t find yourself in need of such services. Though as we know, these incidents can occur at any time. It’s best to stay protected!
