In Australia, the Family Law Courts handle divorce cases for both Australian citizens and permanent residents.
You can apply for a divorce in Australia if either you or your spouse:
* regard Australia as your home and intend to live in Australia indefinitely, or
* are an Australian citizen by birth, descent or by grant of Australian citizenship, or
* ordinarily live in Australia and have done so for 12 months immediately before filing for divorce.
