Direct answer
A sole divorce filing and service pack organises one spouse’s online application, arrangements for children and the documents and deadlines for serving the other spouse through another adult.
What this document actually does
- Organises the applicant, marriage, separation, Australian connection and children information for the online application.
- Creates a copy-ready application answers summary and a separate service checklist.
- Explains the sealed documents, acknowledgement and proof-of-service steps.
- States that another adult must serve the spouse at least 28 days before the hearing in Australia or 42 days overseas.
- Stops matters needing substituted service, dispensation of service or other extra applications.

What it does not do
A missing spouse requiring substituted service, less than 12 months and one day separation, or unsafe routine service. Claim Done prepares self-service documents from the facts and arrangements supplied; it does not represent either person or decide the outcome for them.
The process
From separate positions to agreed wording
Record the exact facts
Names, dates, values, responsibilities and arrangements come from the people involved. Missing facts are not invented.
Review and finalise
Read the full draft, correct anything inaccurate and finalise only when the wording is right.
What we ask
Specific questions, not a blank legal form
- Are you applying alone rather than jointly with your spouse?
- Is it safe to prepare and arrange service without exposing you or a child to immediate risk?
- Give both spouses’ full legal names, dates of birth and current addresses.
- When and where did you marry, and do you have the marriage certificate?
- Confirm the separation date and that at least 12 months and one day have passed.
- Did you live at the same address during any part of the 12 months before filing?
- List every child of the marriage under 18 and the current housing, care, school, health, contact and financial-support arrangements. (optional)
- Do you know a current address where another adult can serve your spouse?
- Have you been married for at least two years?
