F3: Notice of Family Claim

Use this form to start most family law cases, including an application for parenting arrangements, child or spousal support, or family property and debt orders. It sets out information about you and the other party, your relationship, and the final orders you want. If you're applying jointly with your spouse for any of these orders and/or a divorce, use a Notice of Joint Family Claim (F1).

Tip: The five schedules are in the PDF form but they don't appear when you first open the file. To make them appear, either:

• Click "Fill In Form" at the top of the form, then tick the appropriate boxes under "My Claims" on page 2 (as soon as you tick each of the first five options, the schedule for that option appears at the bottom of the form). OR
• Click "Prepare Paper Copy" at the top of the form and all five of the schedules will appear so you can print the form and fill it out by hand.
