Cost to get Divorced in Australia 

In Australia, the cost of a divorce depends on the legal fees charged by your lawyer, the filing fees charged by the court, any third party process server fees and whether any additional services (child custody, property or separation under one roof etc) are required. Essia Law offers some of the most competitive rates you will find. How? We operate online, saving you time and money.

Competitively Priced Divorce 

Divorces can be expensive and stressful, but not at Essia Law. We understand that divorce is a difficult time for everyone involved, and we strive to make the process as simple and fast as possible. That's why we offer fixed fees for our divorce services, so you know exactly what you're paying for upfront.

Fixed Fees v Time Based Billing

Unlike traditional law firms that use time-based billing, our pricing is transparent and fixed, with no hidden costs or surprises. We tell you the price for our legal fees, any disbursements, and the divorce filing fees charged by the court, which range from $330 to $990, depending on your circumstances.

At Essia Law, we can offer you affordable prices because we operate online only. This means we save on overheads and pass on the savings to you. We also offer the option to pay in  instalments, making it easier for you to manage your finances during this difficult time.

Our divorce applications start at $565 for joint divorce applications ($995 for single applications which includes a process server fee). Additional fees apply if you have separated and are still living under one roof, cannot find your ex or need assistance with custody of children, or property.
