Family law can be very complex in Australia and even more so when in comes to the Court process. It can be very confusing, especially when it comes to making applications to Court for your family law process. 

The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) is the same for the majority of Australia. Being a family law firm based in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, we usually file applications in the Brisbane Registry, however from time to time need to file applications in other registries around the country. Fortunately, they are the same applications where the same family law rules and family law legislation applies. 

The purpose of an Initiating Application for Family Court is to start a family law application seeking interim and or final orders that are related to family law issues such as child custody, parenting issues, property division, spousal maintenance and divorce.

To start the court process in your family law matter an initiating application will need to be made with the rules of making the application adhered to.
