Divorce versus separation
What is the difference between being separated and being divorced?
Lawyer at Irdi Legal
After a divorce order has issued you can remarry. Before a divorce order has issued you may be separated but you are still legally married and it is a criminal offence in Australia to marry another person.
Divorce will affect your existing will, whereas separation won't.
After a divorce order has issued you will have 12 months to apply for property settlement.
