Simple steps to a DIY divorce

from Beanstalk: Real Talk for Single Mums Hosted by Elle Sitek

It’s so bloody easy to divorce when you know how. When we think of divorce we think of lawyers, big bucks and a long-drawn-out process. But it doesn’t have to be this way. And to tell us how, I chat to Belinda Eldridge from Divide – Simple Financial Separation. We cover everything you need to know to DIY your divorce, including the exact criteria that makes you eligible for divorce, as well as the importance of your separation date and how to record it. We discuss the pros and cons of applying for divorce on your own, or as a couple, and how to use the Commonwealth Court Portal to apply for a divorce. Belinda shares details on divorce costs including concessions and comparable costs if you use lawyers. Plus, she tells us about the best divorce video ever. Very importantly, she red flags the mistakes you might make and how to avoid them. And for the next step after divorce she tells us how and when to organise your financial settlement.
