As we embark on a new financial year, we have noticed a hike in fees and cost of living, even with Netflix subscriptions. The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) is no different. 

These fees are set by Federal Government Regulations - Family Law (Fees) Regulation 2012

Filing fees are separate from your standard legal fees associated with engaging your Solicitor, which includes applications for Divorce, applications for Consent Orders and initiating applications in the Family Court of Australia. 

The FCFCOA has a clear list of fees depending on what is required to be filed. For further information, click the link for the updated Court Fees as of 1 July 2022: https://www.fcfcoa.gov.au/fl/fees/fl-fees 

At the Collective Family Law Group, we offer a Fixed Fee agreement for many of these matters, in which we can help you with your Family Law journey. The best advice we can offer is to engage a Solicitor to Draft your Consent Orders for either Parenting or Property matters to ensure the best outcome for your future.
