Family law in South Australia

How separation, divorce, parenting orders and property settlement work in South Australia, including the Adelaide registry of the Federal Circuit and Family Court, South Australian intervention orders, and free help from the Legal Services Commission of SA.

Overview

South Australians who separate use the national family law system. The Family Law Act 1975 governs divorce, arrangements for children, property settlement and spousal maintenance, and South Australian cases are heard by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Adelaide is the only family law registry in the state, in the Roma Mitchell Commonwealth Law Courts Building at 3 Angas Street. The court also sits on circuit at Mount Gambier, and cases heard on circuit at Broken Hill, in far western New South Wales, are filed through Adelaide.

South Australia referred its de facto financial powers to the Commonwealth later than the other referring states. The Commonwealth Powers (De Facto Relationships) Act 2009 (SA) took effect on 1 July 2010, so de facto relationships that broke down from that date are generally dealt with under the Family Law Act, with the same property and superannuation splitting rules that apply to married couples. Relationships that ended before 1 July 2010 may still fall under the Domestic Partners Property Act 1996 (SA), a different scheme heard in the state courts with a much shorter time limit.

Protection from family violence is South Australian law. Intervention orders are made under the Intervention Orders (Prevention of Abuse) Act 2009 (SA). Police can issue an interim intervention order when the other person is present or in custody, and the Magistrates Court of South Australia then decides whether to confirm it. You can also apply yourself through the CourtSA portal or at a court registry. Intervention orders and parenting orders must be read together: a South Australian court making or varying an intervention order can also change or suspend the parts of a parenting order that let a child spend time with a person. This page is general information for South Australians, not legal advice.

LegislationShow
  • Intervention Orders (Prevention of Abuse) Act 2009 (SA) (SA)

    The South Australian family violence law. It allows police to issue interim intervention orders, lets the Magistrates Court confirm, vary or make intervention orders, and makes contravening an order a criminal offence (section 31). Section 16 deals with intervention orders that conflict with Family Law Act parenting orders.

  • Commonwealth Powers (De Facto Relationships) Act 2009 (SA) (SA)

    The Act by which South Australia referred power over de facto financial matters to the Commonwealth, in force from 1 July 2010, so that separated de facto partners have property and maintenance decided under the Family Law Act.

  • Domestic Partners Property Act 1996 (SA) (SA)

    The earlier South Australian scheme for dividing property when a domestic partnership ends, heard in the Supreme, District or Magistrates Court. It may still apply where the relationship ended before the federal de facto provisions began in South Australia. Applications generally have to be made within one year after the relationship ended (section 9).

  • Family Relationships Act 1975 (SA) (SA)

    Defines who is a domestic partner under most South Australian laws and lets a court declare that two people were domestic partners (sections 11A and 11B). It also sets the rules about who is a parent, including for children conceived through fertilisation procedures. Surrogacy is now dealt with under the Surrogacy Act 2019 (SA).

  • Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (CTH)

    The national Act applied in South Australia for divorce, parenting orders, property settlement, superannuation splitting and spousal maintenance, including the parenting reforms from 6 May 2024 and the property reforms from 10 June 2025.

  • Family Law Amendment Act 2024 (Cth) (CTH)

    Most changes started on 10 June 2025. Courts must consider the economic effect of family violence in property matters, economic or financial abuse is expressly part of the definition of family violence, there is a framework for companion animals, and the duty of financial disclosure now sits in the Family Law Act.

  • Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Family Law) Rules 2021 (Cth) (CTH)

    The procedural rules for South Australian family law cases, including the pre-action procedures in Schedule 1, the forms, service, subpoenas and evidence.

Courts and tribunalsShow
  • Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia - Adelaide registry

    The only family law registry in South Australia, in the Roma Mitchell Commonwealth Law Courts Building, 3 Angas Street, Adelaide. It hears divorce, parenting, property and contravention matters. Parenting applications filed there are risk-screened through the court's Lighthouse process, and smaller property-only cases can be managed in the Priority Property Pool pathway.

  • Federal Circuit and Family Court - Mount Gambier and Broken Hill circuits

    The court sits on circuit at the Mount Gambier Court House for the south east of the state. Documents cannot be filed there; they go through the Commonwealth Courts Portal or the Adelaide registry. Matters heard on circuit at Broken Hill, in far western New South Wales, are also filed through the portal or the Adelaide registry.

  • Magistrates Court of South Australia - intervention orders

    Makes, confirms, varies and revokes intervention orders, hears private applications lodged through the CourtSA portal or at a registry, and can declare a domestic violence order made before 25 November 2017 to be recognised across Australia. Domestic abuse intervention orders made since that date are recognised nationally without any further step.

  • South Australia Police - intervention orders

    Responds to family violence, can issue an urgent interim intervention order when the other person is present or in custody, can apply to the court for an order on your behalf, serves orders and investigates breaches.

  • Youth Court of South Australia - care and protection

    Hears care and protection applications brought by the Minister or the Chief Executive of the Department for Child Protection under the Children and Young People (Safety) Act 2017 (SA), which can run alongside or affect a family law parenting case.

  • Commonwealth Courts Portal

    Where South Australian parties eFile applications, pay filing fees and view their orders and court dates.

ProcessShow

  1. 01Deal with safety and get help early

    If there is abuse, contact police about an intervention order or lodge a private application through CourtSA, and call the Legal Services Commission Legal Helpline. Note your date of separation.

    Typical timeframe: Straight away

  2. 02Family dispute resolution

    Attend family dispute resolution with a registered practitioner, for example at a Family Relationship Centre, the Legal Services Commission or a private practitioner, and obtain a section 60I certificate for parenting matters unless an exemption applies. Follow the pre-action procedures in financial matters.

    Typical timeframe: Varies with the service and the number of sessions

  3. 03Record any agreement

    Put parenting arrangements into a parenting plan, which is not a binding court order, or file an Application for Consent Orders so that parenting and financial terms become binding court orders.

    Typical timeframe: Once you have reached agreement

  4. 04File in the Adelaide registry

    eFile an Initiating Application through the Commonwealth Courts Portal with your affidavit, a Notice of Risk for parenting matters, and a section 60I certificate or an affidavit seeking an exemption. Parenting applications are risk-screened through the court's Lighthouse process.

    Typical timeframe: Once the pre-action steps are complete

  5. 05First court event and any interim hearing

    A registrar holds the first court event, checks whether the pre-action steps were followed, makes procedural orders and considers whether an interim hearing is needed. Any interim hearing is before a senior judicial registrar or a judge. High-risk parenting cases identified through Lighthouse may go into the Evatt List.

    Typical timeframe: Court aims for 1-2 months after filing

  6. 06Subpoenas, reports and dispute resolution

    Subpoenas issue to South Australia Police, schools, health services and the Department for Child Protection, a family consultant may prepare a Child Impact Report, and a mediation or conciliation conference is held.

    Typical timeframe: Dispute resolution usually within 5 months of filing

  7. 07Compliance and readiness hearing, then trial

    If the case does not settle, the court checks that disclosure and trial documents are complete before listing a final hearing before a judge.

    Typical timeframe: Court targets about 6 months, and a trial within 12 months of filing if orders are followed

Costs and helpShow

Family law court fees in South Australia are Commonwealth fees set by the Family Law (Fees) Regulations 2022 and increased each 1 July. From 1 July 2026 an application for divorce costs $1,170, or $390 at the reduced rate. The reduced rate is available if you are the primary holder of an eligible concession card, have been granted legal aid, receive Youth Allowance, Austudy or ABSTUDY, are under 18, are in prison or legally detained, or would suffer financial hardship; on a joint application both of you must qualify. An Application for Consent Orders is $215, an Initiating Application for parenting or financial final orders is $455 ($740 for both), an interim application is $155, a subpoena is $70 and a conciliation conference is $510. You can apply for an exemption from other court fees. There is no fee to lodge a private intervention order application in the Magistrates Court that alleges domestic abuse; other intervention order applications attract a lodgement fee, and you can apply to have it waived if you cannot pay. Each party usually pays their own legal costs in family law, although the court can order one party to pay another's costs in some cases. Ask any lawyer you hire for a written costs agreement and updated estimates.

Legal Services Commission of South Australia

Runs the free Legal Helpline on 1300 366 424, provides duty lawyers and social support workers at the Adelaide family law registry through its Family Advocacy and Support Service, publishes the South Australian Law Handbook, and grants aid in eligible family law matters subject to means and merit tests. Under its guidelines, aid in a property matter may be available where the net asset pool, excluding superannuation, is $650,000 or less and the applicant has experienced or is at risk of family violence, has a disability, is 55 or older or is otherwise vulnerable. A grant of aid carries a contribution of at least $70 in family law matters.

Where to get help

Practical guidanceShow

Does the federal de facto law apply to your South Australian relationship?

South Australia referred its de facto financial powers to the Commonwealth later than the other referring states, with effect from 1 July 2010. If your de facto relationship broke down from that date, your property settlement, maintenance and superannuation splitting are generally decided under the Family Law Act in the Federal Circuit and Family Court, in the same way as for a married couple. You usually need to have lived together for at least two years, have a child together, or show substantial contributions and serious injustice, unless the relationship was registered. If your relationship ended before 1 July 2010, the Domestic Partners Property Act 1996 (SA) may apply instead. That is a different scheme dealt with in the state courts, it generally requires three years together or a child, and an application must usually be made within one year after the relationship ended unless the court extends the time. Because separation dates are often disputed, and because a long-ago separation can still leave property in joint names, work out and document your separation date carefully. If the date is anywhere near mid-2010, get legal help before you assume which law applies.

How do South Australian intervention orders work with parenting orders?

In South Australia many intervention orders start with police. If the other person is present or in custody, police can issue an interim intervention order on the spot, and it works as a summons to the Magistrates Court, which then decides whether to confirm it. You can also make a private application through the CourtSA portal or at a court registry. Orders commonly include conditions about contact and approaching a home, which can cut across a parenting order that lets a child spend time with a parent. Under section 16 of the South Australian Act, an intervention order does not operate to the extent that it conflicts with the time-spending parts of a Family Law Act parenting order. The magistrate can deal with this under section 68R of the Family Law Act by reviving, varying, discharging or suspending those parts of the parenting order, but cannot discharge them at an interim hearing, and needs material that was not before the court that made the parenting order. Tell the court about any parenting orders and bring a sealed copy. Every other condition of the intervention order still binds, breaching it is a criminal offence, and a protected person cannot give permission for a breach. In a parenting case in the family law court, you must tell the court about any intervention order that applies to the child or a member of the child's family.

What help is available from the Legal Services Commission of SA?

South Australia's legal aid commission is called the Legal Services Commission, and its free Legal Helpline on 1300 366 424 is the usual first call. The Commission can help with divorce, children's issues, child support, property and family violence. Its Family Advocacy and Support Service has duty lawyers and social support workers at the Adelaide family law registry, and its Women's Domestic Violence Court Assistance Service (1800 246 642) helps women with intervention order applications in the Magistrates Court. Grants of aid are means and merit tested. Urgent interim matters, such as where a child's safety or your own safety is at risk, get the highest priority, and property matters are funded only in limited cases. The Commission also publishes the South Australian Law Handbook, which has a detailed family law chapter. Community legal centres and the Law Society of South Australia's referral service can point you to other options. Family Relationship Centres in South Australia offer family dispute resolution, with the first hour of joint sessions free, and their registered practitioners can issue section 60I certificates.

How do you prepare a South Australian property settlement?

Build a balance sheet listing every asset, liability and superannuation interest, whether held jointly or in one name, with a value and supporting evidence. In South Australia that usually means a market appraisal or valuation for real property, current mortgage and credit statements, superannuation member statements, and full financial statements for any business, company, partnership or trust, which matter particularly in wine, agriculture and small business families. A transfer of property between former spouses or de facto partners can be exempt from South Australian stamp duty under section 71CA of the Stamp Duties Act 1923 (SA) when it gives effect to a Family Law Act court order or financial agreement, so document the settlement properly before transferring anything. Since 10 June 2025 the court must consider the economic effect of any family violence where relevant, and economic or financial abuse is expressly part of the definition of family violence. Your duty of financial disclosure now sits in the Family Law Act itself and continues until the case is finished.

What if you live outside Adelaide?

Adelaide is the only family law registry in South Australia. The court sits on circuit at Mount Gambier, where documents cannot be filed, and matters heard on circuit at Broken Hill are filed through Adelaide. Filing is mostly electronic through the Commonwealth Courts Portal, and documents that cannot be eFiled can be emailed to the Adelaide registry. Divorce hearings are held electronically, and for other court events you can ask whether you may attend by phone or video, which can help families on the Eyre Peninsula, in the Riverland, the Far North and the South East. Because the court sits on circuit rather than every day, a regional matter may take longer to reach a hearing. Raise travel, cost or safety issues at the first court event. The Legal Helpline on 1300 366 424 covers the whole state, and the national family relationships phone line on 1800 050 321 can point you to dispute resolution services.

How do you get parenting arrangements working after separation?

Most South Australian families never need a judge to decide arrangements. Start with a written proposal that covers an ordinary school fortnight, school holidays, birthdays, Christmas, changeover times and places, and how you will communicate about health and education. Take it to family dispute resolution, where a practitioner can help you test whether it works in practice. If you agree, decide whether a parenting plan is enough or whether you want consent orders that can be enforced. Since 6 May 2024 there is no presumption that parental responsibility should be shared equally, and there has never been a rule that children must spend equal time with each parent. The child's interests come first. The court looks at what keeps the child and their carers safe, the child's views, their developmental, psychological, emotional and cultural needs, each carer's capacity to meet those needs, and the benefit of the child having relationships with their parents and other important people where it is safe.

Common questions

Why does the date 1 July 2010 matter for de facto couples in South Australia?

That is when South Australia's referral of de facto financial powers to the Commonwealth took effect. If your de facto relationship broke down from 1 July 2010, your property settlement, including any superannuation split, is generally decided under the Family Law Act in the Federal Circuit and Family Court. If it ended earlier, the Domestic Partners Property Act 1996 (SA) may apply instead, in the state courts, with different rules and a time limit of one year after the relationship ended unless the court extends it.

Where do I go to court for family law in South Australia?

Adelaide is the state's only family law registry, at 3 Angas Street, and the court sits on circuit at Mount Gambier. Broken Hill matters are also filed through Adelaide. Most applications are filed electronically through the Commonwealth Courts Portal, divorce hearings are held electronically, and you can ask the court about attending other events by phone or video, which helps families in the Riverland, the Far North, the Eyre Peninsula and the South East.

Does an intervention order change my parenting orders?

Not automatically, but the two interact. Under section 16 of the Intervention Orders (Prevention of Abuse) Act 2009 (SA), an intervention order does not operate to the extent that it conflicts with the parts of a parenting order that let a child spend time with a person. The magistrate can resolve the conflict under section 68R of the Family Law Act by changing or suspending those parts of the parenting order. Tell the court about your parenting orders and bring a sealed copy. All other conditions of the intervention order still apply and breaching them is a criminal offence, so get legal help before relying on a parenting order for contact.

Can the Legal Services Commission run my family law case?

It can in eligible matters. Grants of aid are means and merit tested, and you will usually pay a contribution of at least $70. Urgent interim matters, such as where a child's safety or your own safety is at risk, get the highest priority. Under the Commission's guidelines, aid in a property matter may be available where the net asset pool, excluding superannuation, is $650,000 or less and you have experienced or are at risk of family violence, have a disability, are 55 or older or are otherwise vulnerable. The free Legal Helpline on 1300 366 424 and the duty lawyers at the Adelaide registry are available much more broadly.

How long does a divorce take in South Australia?

When you file, the court gives you a hearing date, which you can see on the Commonwealth Courts Portal. Divorce hearings are held electronically before a registrar, and you only need to attend if you asked to, if your spouse asked to attend and there are children under 18, if your spouse opposes the divorce, or if you are asking the court to dispense with service or allow substituted service. If the divorce is granted, it becomes final one month and one day later. Delays can come from problems serving a sole application, a missing marriage certificate, or extra evidence needed where you separated under the same roof.

Do we have to attend mediation before applying for parenting orders?

Usually yes. You must attempt family dispute resolution with a registered practitioner and file a section 60I certificate, which is valid for 12 months. South Australian Family Relationship Centres, the Legal Services Commission and private practitioners provide it. Exemptions can apply where there has been family violence or child abuse or a risk of it, where the matter is urgent, or where a party cannot participate effectively. You ask for an exemption by filing an Affidavit - Non-Filing of Family Dispute Resolution Certificate.

What happens to the family home in South Australia?

It is included in the pool with all other assets, liabilities and superannuation, and there is no rule that one party keeps it. Common outcomes are a buy-out with a refinance, a deferred sale until the children finish school, or an immediate sale and division. A stamp duty exemption may be available where a transfer between former spouses or de facto partners gives effect to a Family Law Act court order or financial agreement, so have the settlement documented before you transfer anything.
