Does a Divorce deal with my property and children’s matters as well?

You do not have to wait until you are divorced to ask the Court for orders about your children, your property or spouse maintenance. However, once you are divorced you have 12 months from the date your divorce order becomes final to file an application for property settlement or spouse maintenance. This timeframe can be waived by the Court only in certain circumstances.
