Mediation occurs when a neutral third party, called a mediator, works with each party in a lawsuit to reach a compromise before going to trial. It’s the mediator’s job to point out issues in the case or areas of weakness and benefits of settling. Mediation is very common and effective in resolving most cases out of court. Even where a judge does not order mediation, parties often agree to mediate a case to resolve the dispute and save the expenses of going to trial.
To be eligible to apply for a divorce, you and your ex-partner must have been separated for 12 months. In addition, the court will need to make sure proper arrangements have been made for any children involved before allowing a divorce to proceed. You can get back together for up to 3 months without restarting the 12 month separation period.
You can apply for a divorce order once you meet all of the necessary requirements. A divorce order typically becomes final 1 month and 1 day after it’s been lodged. The date when the divorce order becomes final is the actual divorce date.
When parents of a child under the age of 18 seperate, they each have parental responsibility for the child (subject to any court order). Both parents also have a duty to support the child financially. The Family Law Act 1975 focuses on the rights of children and the responsibilities that each parent has towards their children, as opposed to parental rights.
The Act sets out the rights, duties, powers and liabilities of spouses and children. It provides for enforcement of those rights and liabilities as well as the dissolution of marriage. It aims to ensure that children can enjoy a meaningful relationship with both of their parents, while being protected from harm.
