Hi, looking for advice from people who have have been in a similar position that could leave me some advice on how to get a divorce.
Backstory, separated now 5 yrs living separate but still legally married with children all have additional needs and I’m a very unwell person in general so haven’t got the brain energy to figure this out alone.
My ex and I are good mates and continue to co parent really well we haven’t had to do any mediation or anything typical of separating just separated which wasn’t all roses and sunshine by any means but have been in a great place for a few yrs now. We have a great system around who has kids when and he pays his child support to me and have custody agreement in writing that we came up with together and it’s still working fine and we don’t have any assets ect that we need to sell/split we both took a car each and rented our own places. I’m ready to look into divorce and I think we are at a place where we could meet up and agree to sign the paperwork together. My question is has anyone in nsw done this relatively cheaply and who did you use? Are there websites ect? I don’t want anything no super ect just want to sign and continue our co parenting the way we have been thank you
This is a place where women from different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs come together to support one another judgement free.

My ex husband and I did a joint divorce application.
Same as you, nothing to divide and no custody battle.
Did the paperwork ourselves, got it notarised and submitted it via the commonwealth courts portal. We were both eligible for concession so it ended up being $330 in total.
Finalised a month later. Super easy.
We did the same (long time ago), but I did a single one because at the time, I was the only one eligible for concession.
I just got a friend to serve him and had to go to court as we had children under 18.
It is a great system, being able to do it yourself, without paying lawyer fees.
Op, just google it.
It's federal law, same in all states.
Where did you get the paperwork to fill out?
