eDivorce: The next step in DIY?

DBH Family Lawyers are part of the divorce digital revolution.

Last year, the Adelaide Family Court introduced the new eDivorce process. This was an exciting new measure to move family law court files online.

Paper divorce applications are being eliminated and all divorce files will be electronic, which means a significant shift away from paper filing (at a family law registry or by post) to eFiling applications for divorce using an interactive online form.

eFiling means your lawyer can concentrate on resolving property settlement and arrangements for children, and you can handle the divorce yourself online. Of course, DBH Family Lawyers are there to help if your divorce is not straightforward.

You will need legal assistance if you are separated under the same roof, or you cannot locate your spouse, or have difficulties serving them with the divorce application. DBH Family lawyers can also assist you in the rare circumstances you need a paper divorce kit.

Where do I start in the eDivorce process?  Visit www.federalcircuitcourt.gov.au/hdi-divorce to assist you with applying for divorce.  Or contact DBH Family Lawyers on 1800 324 324, or send us a message.
