Most of the time you'll need to fill out a form called a Notice of Family Claim, Form F3. In certain, relatively uncommon circumstances a family law proceeding is started with a Petition, Form F73. (Petitions are used when someone is asking for the return of a child under the Hague Convention on child abduction and other orders that can be dealt with in a single hearing.) Form F3 is available online; see the [[Supreme Court Forms (Family Law)|Supreme Court Forms]] section. The court <span class="noglossary">will</span> not provide you with a guide to filling this form out, so you must be as precise and accurate as possible. There are a lot of free online resources which can help you complete these forms, but if you have any questions, you should really see a lawyer. | |||
The Notice of Family Claim sets out the basic information about who you are, who the other side is, and describes the sorts of claims you are making. Additional schedules are attached to your Notice of Family Claim depending on the orders you are asking for which <span class="noglossary">will</span> require you to provide more detailed information about your marriage, your children, your property and debts, and so forth. | The Notice of Family Claim sets out the basic information about who you are, who the other side is, and describes the sorts of claims you are making.
