Urgent Family Law Matters

When you need help now.

Overview

Some family law issues cannot wait — children at risk, recovery of children, urgent property issues, or imminent court dates. We respond quickly with clear next steps.

What the law generally considers

The court has powers to make urgent orders, including recovery orders, injunctions and urgent parenting orders. The Magistrates' Court can make interim intervention orders quickly.
