+A Family Case Conferences (FCC) is a relatively informal, off-the-record, private meeting between the parties, their lawyers and a judge in a courtroom to explore settlement options. FCCs are not mandatory and there is no requirement that an FCC must be heard before any interim applications.
 FCCs can be extraordinarily helpful in helping everyone understand the issues and the dispute. Cases sometimes settle at FCCs, and even if a complete settlement can't be reached, problems about time with the children and support can usually be resolved on a temporary basis. This is a lot less expensive than making an interim application if you have to hire a lawyer.
