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.
