Australia takes a "no fault" approach to divorce. This means that as long as you have been separated for one year and one day, you can make an application to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for a divorce from your partner.
​
It is in only very rare cases that parties can oppose a divorce application. Applications can be made separately or jointly. If you have been married less than two years, there are some additional requirements which must be met, such as obtaining a counselling certificate.
