I'm in australia, I'm to divorce with my wife after * and half year marriage
Hello Daniel, in Victoria, Australia, you can apply for a divorce if you've been separated for at least 12 months. Some points to note are:

I care about the finance distribution, can you brief me on the finance side for divorce?
Sure Daniel, in Victoria, the financial settlement in a divorce can be complex. Key factors considered by the court include:
- The financial contribution of each party during the marriage
