FAQs:
Do you get half when you get divorced?
Although the starting position is equal division of assets, many factors can play a part in you getting more or less than 50%.
Some things to consider are the needs of you or your ex-spouse, the needs of the children and whether or not there are any pre- or post- marital assets that have to be taken in consideration.
What happens if your partner won’t sign the divorce papers?
You can still proceed with your divorce application if your ex-spouse won’t sign the divorce papers – but you would have to provide the court with proof that they have been served with the divorce petition.
There are two ways to do this: have them personally served by a bailer or process server, or having some documentary evidence that they’ve signed for the divorce petition.
Does someone have to be at fault for a divorce?
No-fault divorce proceedings have been in place since April of 2022. This means that you can now issue a divorce application without blaming the other side.
Can you stay friends after getting a divorce?
Although it’s hopeful that everybody will be friends after they get divorced, it entirely depends on the circumstances surrounding the separation, and whether or not there’s been any acrimony or difficulties in diving assets.
Who gets the children in a divorce?
Ultimately, the children should have a relationship with both their parents after a divorce.
But it’s essential to address the children’s needs and what’s in their best interest. If there’s been any safeguarding issues, that may mean that they spend more time with one parent than the other.
