When filing for divorce in Australia, it's important to understand the process surrounding the affidavit for eFiling applications. Contrary to what some might think, this isn't a document you need to prepare independently. Instead, as you fill out the online divorce application form, the affidavit for e-Filing is automatically generated on the Commonwealth Court's Portal website.

This streamlines the process significantly, allowing you to review, print, and sign the document, thus ensuring all necessary information is accurately conveyed to the court. This guide aims to simplify the procedure, and our divorce lawyers in Sydney are here to assist you every step of the way.
