Frequently asked questions

Can we divorce in Australia if we married in China?

Usually yes, if at least one of you is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or has lived in Australia for the last 12 months. We can advise on the exact test.

What happens to assets held in China?

Australian courts can consider overseas assets when dividing the matrimonial pool, though enforcement in China is complex. We coordinate with a mainland lawyer where recovery in China is important.

Will everything I say be confidential?

Yes. Every conversation, document and email is covered by legal professional privilege. We never discuss your matter with family, friends or community members.

How much does a divorce cost?

An uncontested divorce is a relatively low fixed fee plus the court filing fee. Property and parenting disputes are quoted separately based on complexity and level of agreement.
