How Do I Apply For A Divorce?
Note: If you have been married for less than two years, you'll need to file a counselling certificate.
To apply for a divorce, you must complete and file a divorce application with the Federal Circuit & Family Court, detailing your marriage, separation, and grounds for divorce.
Our team can assist you throughout this process by preparing and reviewing all necessary paperwork, ensuring accuracy and timeliness with legal requirements.
We provide comprehensive support to manage the application, address any issues, and guide you through each step, making the process as smooth as possible.
