View source for Starting and Responding to Supreme Court Family Law Proceedings

===Options for the respondent===
As the respondent you have two choices:
# If you agree with all the court orders the claimant requests in their Form F3 Notice of Family Claim you can do nothing.
# If you disagree with any of the orders, you can respond to the proceeding and defend yourself, as well as ask for court orders you do want. 

If you ''completely agree'' with the orders the other party is asking for, doing nothing is the cheapest and quickest way to handle the matter. On the other hand, if you agree to only some of the orders, or if you completely disagree, you must respond to the claim. Doing nothing means you risk default judgement, and the claimant can try to obtain final orders against you without you even knowing of their application to do so.
