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

Exactly, that's what I was thinking...
