Which court do you file divorce application?
In Australia, divorce applications are typically filed in one of the following courts:
- Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) is the primary court for filing divorce applications for most individuals. The FCFCOA handles straightforward divorce cases and can also deal with related matters such as property settlements and parenting arrangements.
- Family Court of Australia handles more complex family law matters including divorce cases involving significant disputes over property or children. While you can file for divorce here, it’s usually recommended for cases where additional issues require court intervention.
