Outline of Case Document (Final Hearing)

This document must be filed in accordance with any trial directions made by the Court. Unless otherwise ordered, it must be no more than 10 pages in length (or 15 pages if both property and parenting are in dispute).

This document should be electronically filed on the Commonwealth Courts Portal (see How do I eFile). If for some reason you cannot eFile, you can file at a Court registry.

TIP: If you are not registered on the Commonwealth Courts Portal or are registered but do not have access to your file electronically, please complete the enquiry form for divorce or other family law.

In the form, you need to select:

  • I am making an enquiry about myself
  • Commonwealth Courts Portal support and registration
  • I am registered for the Commonwealth Courts Portal but can't see my file

Then provide your full name, email address, date of birth and the full name of the other party so we can verify your identity.

You should also provide your telephone number in case we need to contact you, and your Commonwealth Courts Portal username if you know it.

At Step 3 please provide your file number, if known, and ask for your client number.
