How is an application made?

Family law applications are now filed electronically through the Commonwealth Courts Portal. Parties who are unable to file documents online may submit their application in hard copy through the Federal Circuit and Family Court Registry. For more information and to access the court forms, visit the Federal Circuit and Family Court website.

Once an application has been filed with the court, a copy must be served on the respondent (the person against whom the proceedings are being taken). If the application is to be contested, the respondent must prepare a document called a Response.

How is an application made?  :  Last Revised: Fri May 3rd 2024
