The two main family law courts in Australia are The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, as well as The Family Court of Western Australia. This means that the specifications of legal proceedings for each state might vary depending on which jurisdiction you are in. With that being said, let us go through what the basic structure of any Family Court case might look like.
The first step involves preparing and filing all the necessary australia phone data documents. The party who has decided to bring forward the action will be required to file an Initiating Application to the Family Court. This application will detail the orders that the applicant would like the Family Court to make.
The applicant will also have to provide an affidavit which is a sworn statement setting out the applicant’s evidence. Only in cases involving property matters, the applicant will also need to provide a financial statement, citing their financial circumstances.
Once the action has been filed, the responding individual will then file a Response to Initiating Application that details the orders they would like the court to make. In addition to this, they will need to provide a supporting affidavit, and a financial statement in property matters only. In this stage, the parties are eligible to seek interim orders, such as urgent temporary orders that will remain in place until the matter is resolved.
