Divorce, in simple and plain words, is a legal action between married people to end their marriage. The law which determines how divorce can take place legally is known as divorce law.
In Australia, Federal Circuit Court of Australia holds the power to deal with the divorce under Part VI of the Family Law Act 1975, also known as FLA by legal practitioners. Separation of married people (Divorce) is a huge step for any individual, in Australia, there is the principle of no-fault divorce Law meaning the Court won’t consider why the marriage ended and the only ground is that marriage won’t last anymore and likelihood that both parties will no longer get back together. Granting of divorce is just separating married people and does not determine other factors such as arrangements of children, property, and other financial matters.
