    yes, divorce is in fact very easy to obtain in Australia ever since the "no-fault divorce" was introduced. Divorce isnt that formal in court anymore and it can be done through the internet as well as without a lawyer. If your spouse is missing. you can still apply for a divorce. You can check it out at australian family law websites. Good luck with your assignment!

    I agree with pancakes. The "no-fault" divorce system has made divorce way easier to obtain. Not only that, it is also cheaper, easier and less formal. Court hearing isnt compulsary if the couple has no children under the age of 18. However, although it is easier to obtain divorce with this system. This system protects the children's rights, and that is a good thing.

    Hope this helps you with your assignment.
    Good luck.

    Yes, divorce in Australia is quite easy to obtain. Or rather, divorces are granted easily. When compared to the previous system, 12 months of seperation is really short. And usally if the couple agree on the divorce, they wouldnt mind being seperated for the 12 months. But that isnt fully neccessary, if the couple can proove that they have been emotionally seperated under one roof divorce can also be granted.
