DIY Kits for Consent Orders – Will they be approved by the Family Court?
It is unlikely they will be approved by the Family Court where you have completed an online DIY kit. DIY kits do not provide 100s of different templates that will fit perfectly to the needs of your property settlement or parenting arrangements. Each property settlement and parenting arrangement is different and must be drafted specifically to your situation in accordance with the Family Law Act 1975.
Correctly drafted court documents can be instrumental to the quick and desirable resolution of your matter. Too often, people without experience in legal drafting will include unnecessary or inappropriate information in their court documents instead of focusing on facts relevant to their matter.
Well written and accurate documents supporting your matter will give the court the best possible view of your position. It will prevent your Consent Orders being returned to you because they are incorrectly drafted.
