Facing a divorce or separation is never easy. It’s a deeply emotional time that comes with difficult decisions around children, property, and finances. At CM Lawyers, we understand the sensitivity and urgency of these moments. That’s why our experienced divorce lawyers in Sydney are committed to guiding you through every step of the process with compassion, clarity, and professionalism.
Whether you’re going through an amicable split or a complex dispute, you can count on CM Lawyers to deliver practical legal solutions and personalised support. Our family law team is based in Sydney, NSW, and is highly experienced in all aspects of divorce and separation law under Australian legislation.
When a marriage or long-term relationship breaks down, it’s important to seek legal advice early. At CM Lawyers, our focus is on helping you understand your rights and options. We ensure you’re informed at every stage—from the moment you decide to separate, to the final resolution of your divorce, property settlement, or parenting arrangement.
We tailor our legal strategy to suit your circumstances—whether that means negotiating out of court or representing you in the Family Court of Australia.
In Australia, the Family Law Act 1975 provides for a “no-fault” divorce system. This means the only legal ground for divorce is the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, demonstrated by 12 months of separation.
You can apply for a divorce in NSW either individually or jointly. If you’ve been living under the same roof during separation, you’ll need to provide evidence that your relationship was indeed over during that time. Our team at CM Lawyers can assist in preparing these documents and affidavits.
It’s important to understand that a divorce only ends the marriage legally—it does not resolve issues relating to children or property. These matters must be dealt with separately through family law proceedings, mediation, or court orders.
