Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Puan Aishah. Can you tell me how long you and your husband have actually been separated for?
Kami sudah berpisah selama tiga belas bulan, tetapi kami masih tinggal serumah kerana faktor kewangan, jadi keadaan agak sukar buat masa ini.
That's fine — living under one roof doesn't automatically disqualify you, provided you can clearly prove you've been separated. Did you keep your finances separate?
Ya, kami sudah ada akaun bank berasingan dan kami tidak lagi berkongsi sebarang perbelanjaan rumah tangga sejak bulan Januari lalu.
Good, that's helpful. You'll need to file your application with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia once the full 12 months has passed.
Baiklah, saya faham. Bolehkah kita mula membincangkan pembahagian harta sebelum kita memfailkan permohonan cerai itu?
Yes, you can certainly start discussing property settlement now, but legally you must apply within 12 months after the divorce order is finalised.
Kami ada dua orang anak yang masih kecil. Adakah kami perlu menyediakan rancangan penjagaan anak sebelum memohon cerai?
Not necessarily, but the court will still want evidence that proper, safe arrangements are already in place for your children's ongoing care and welfare.
Kami sudah cuba mediasi bulan lepas, tetapi ia tidak berjaya langsung. Jadi apa yang perlu kami lakukan seterusnya?
That's fine — mediation isn't compulsory if there's family violence, or if genuine attempts have already failed, as in your particular situation here.
Baiklah, terima kasih banyak. Saya akan mulakan proses memfailkan permohonan cerai sebaik sahaja tempoh dua belas bulan itu genap.

Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
