Divorce
In Australia divorce is governed by the Family Law Act 1975. The Act provides that certain requirements must be met to obtain a divorce, and that it must be obtained by the Family Court of Australia or the Federal Circuit Court.

Child Support
The Child Support (Assessment) Act provides that the primary carer of a child or children can apply for child support from the other parent. This can be done through a private agreement with your former partner where the terms are negotiated and the consented to in writing or can be facilitated by the Child Support Agency.
Domestic Violence Order
A domestic violence order protects a person from future violence, stalking, harassment or intimidation by another. The PINOP (person in need of protecting) may be in a relationship with the defendant or it may involve unrelated people. The Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) makes provisions for Violence Orders.
