About This Course

So where do you start? Well the first thing to understand is the legal process and how it applies to your situation. There are three main legal areas separating couples may need to navigate on divorce:

1. The divorce application itself;
2. The division of your finances; and
3. If you have children, the arrangements for them.

This course is going to focus on the divorce application itself, so that by the end you will gain a broad appreciation of the legal and practical issues that arise upon divorce, and you can work out what further help you need in your specific circumstances. We will also explain the relevance of the divorce application to the division of your finances and point you in the direction of our other courses about finances and children that you may find helpful if you feel you don’t know where to start. But our courses are not and never can be a substitute for seeking expert legal advice on your own family’s specific circumstances.

Lastly, you’ll find a series of checklists designed to get you thinking, when you’re ready, about these three areas and the help you’ll need.
