Can you get a divorce without the other person signing in Australia?
In Australia, you can actually apply for a divorce order online, as we have a "no fault" divorce system, meaning you don't need to prove anyone has caused the relationship to end, you just need to show it's not working anymore which is demonstrated by being separated for 12 months (more on that later).
