General

Although the information on this site and available from AussieDivorce has been prepared with the expert advice of an experienced family law barrister, this site does not claim to be a substitute for a lawyer. Likewise, although it is full of useful tips for conciliation, financial arrangements and personal growth, it does not replace a financial planner, accountant or therapist.

Every individual’s situation is different and will require a different approach, and different strategies. AussieDivorce.com.au aims to provide practical advice about dealing with legal, financial and emotional issues. However, you will still need a lawyer for legal advice and an accountant or financial planner for financial advice. You may also need counselling for emotional support.

In compiling the information contained on, and accessed through, this website ('Information') the Aussiedivorce.com.au Pty Limited has used its best endeavours to ensure that the Information is correct and current at the time of publication but takes no responsibility for any error, omission or defect therein.

To the extent permitted by law, Aussiedivorce.com.au Pty Limited and its employees, agents and consultants exclude all liability for any loss or damage (including indirect, special or consequential loss or damage) arising from the use of, or reliance on, the information whether or not caused by any negligent act or omission. If any law prohibits the exclusion of such liability, Aussiedivorce.com.au Pty Limited limits its liability to the extent permitted by law, to the re-supply of the Information.
