This is your divorce, not your lawyer

Aussie Divorce - Transforming Separation into Empowerment

I’m Alan Weiss, and my own challenging divorce experience opened my eyes to the need for a smarter, more controlled way to navigate separation. Caught between a convoluted legal system and a culture that left me feeling helpless, I realized you shouldn’t be forced to rely solely on fate—or a “good lawyer”—to guide you through one of life’s toughest transitions.

After years of lengthy and costly litigation, I partnered with Sydney’s top family lawyers and a seasoned Family Court Barrister to develop the Aussie Divorce system. In 2005, I published my book This Is Your Divorce, Not Your Lawyer, a practical guide featuring easy-to-follow forms and step-by-step instructions on hiring the right lawyer, gathering essential documentation, and setting both short- and long-term goals. The book sparked conversations on Ten News, TV Breakfast, and Talk Back radio shows across Australia, resonating with many who felt overwhelmed by the divorce process.

Our website is designed with you in mind—a comprehensive resource filled with hundreds of articles and guides to help you take control of your separation journey. While we offer practical information and insights based on real experiences, please note that we do not provide legal advice. For personalized guidance, we have partnered with select law firms renowned for their expertise. If you have any general questions, simply email us, and we’ll do our best to assist.

Welcome to Aussie Divorce—a platform born from personal experience, built on expert collaboration, and dedicated to helping you transform a difficult chapter into a journey of empowerment and renewal.
