You'll be appearing in Chambers to ask a judge or master to make the orders you want. See What happens in a Supreme Court Chambers hearing? to find out more about this.

Prepare the Order Made After Application (Form F51)

After you appear in court, you have to prepare an Order Made After Application (Form F51) that says what the judge or master decided. If you or the other person has a lawyer, the lawyer's usually required by the court to prepare the interim order even if they're not your lawyer. If this happens, ask to have an opportunity to review and sign the interim order as written by the lawyer before it's given to the court registry. You and the other person (or their lawyer) must both sign the interim order unless the other person didn't appear at the hearing.

The Order Made After Application contains technical instructions to help you fill it out. For more information about preparing orders, see:
