• you were legally married—you can prove this by providing your marriage certificate. If you don’t have your marriage certificate, get legal adviceACTNSWNTQldSATasVicWA
• your marriage has ended and there is no chance that you will get back together
• you have been separated for 12 months before you applied for the divorce
• either you or husband or wife are an Australian citizen, a permanent resident or have been living in Australia for at least 12 months before you applied for the divorce. You can apply for a divorce if you were married overseas
• if you have children, there are care arrangements in place for your children. This does not have to be a Parenting Order.
