Intend to live indefinitely in Australia or meet one of the following:
Are an Australian citizen by birth, descent, or grant of citizenship.
Ordinarily reside in Australia and have done so for at least 12 months before filing for divorce.
Key Requirements for Divorce in Australia

When filing for divorce in Australia, you must submit a copy of your marriage certificate.
If not in English: Provide an English translation and an affidavit from the translator.
