Not an Australian citizen? Follow this requirement to apply for divorce in Australia!

The divorce requirements in Australia are not as strict as in many other countries. To apply for divorce, one party must have resided in Australia for at least 12 months before filing the application. 

Therefore, whether you were married in Australia or overseas, as long as you or your spouse have resided in Australia for at least 12 months before filing the application, or you have the intention of residing in Australia for an extended period of time, you may apply for divorce in Australia. 

In addition, if you divorced overseas and wish to remarry in Australia, you do not need to apply for divorce again in Australia. You may directly use the overseas divorce certificate to legally apply for marriage in Australia.
