Unless you own a business together a financial divorce is irrelevant.

You're better off working out what you think is fair, presenting it to her then pulling back a little from there while trying to be fair and realistic to both parties without getting the shits on or offering threats about lawyers etc.

It will then cost you about $860 to file for divorce, cheaper if she does it and is on centrelink benefits, you can track the progress online, it will go to court and neither of you have to attend and you will receive notification once it's been granted.

Now is the best time to lodge it as it is a "off peak" time for divorce's so it will go through quicker. It peaks just after July and then declines rapidly for the remainder of the year.

It's pretty painless if you both just want closure and don't want to be greedy.

Thanks mate... Really appreciate the info...

We've come to the agreement in regard to the evaluation of the house.. Would like a bit more, but there is no point, cause if I got another evaluation it's pointless and I just wanna get it done.. We ain't going after each others super or anything and we are keeping it pretty straight forward.

Another question, as I said she is paying me out of the house and she is saying we should go halves in the fees, should that be the case if she is buying me out of the house?

If she is staying in the house she should pay all the fees for transfer of ownership etc. it will be added on to her new mortgage amount.

Why should you pay fees on something that isn’t yours?

I did it the other way around and kept the house (not married but house was in joint names) I paid all the fees as the house was now my responsibility

I thought the fees were inclusive, if it's a reasonable price for the fees I don't mind but if it's excessive I won't be to pleased as I am the one who has moved out and the one who will be worse off for it.. We have the kids 50/50 and financially she is better off

There is no such thing as 50/50 care according to the authorities, it is bizarre, their level of care breakdowns are bullshit.

From a bank perspective there will be a discharge fee of around $160 (government fee) and maybe a bank fee of around $350, presuming loan is in joint names then you should just split that.

She will have similar costs to lodge a new mortgage and title in her name solely, you shouldn't pay for that, that is what she needs to pay to get her affairs in order.

A service you provide, or can arrange?

Neither, I’m a lover not a fighter.

I have zero issue in doing it, as I don't want any of her money!!! But clearly she thinks I do... I just can't find any info on it...

Maybe she’s won X-lotto already and isn’t telling you?
