November deadline for court applications
Christmas holidays are coming. If you are separated and don’t have a clearly-agreed parenting arrangement in place it would be wise to turn your mind to it now.
The added pressure to do this quickly is that the court has just announced that the deadline for filing a court application for a parenting order that relates to the December 2021/January 2022 school holiday period (including Christmas Day 2021) is 4pm, Friday 12 November 2021.
If you file a court application after that date, it is likely that the court will only look at it after the holiday period.
There is scope for court matters to be listed urgently but they are very limited. Do not assume that your situation will be seen as urgent. The lesson is ‘forewarned is forearmed’, so if you have any concerns, contact us now on (07) 3221 4300 or email us at [email protected].
