The process of family court Parramatta is not that simple as it seems to be. There are so many things involved in the process. Let’s discuss these things in detail that are involved and that make the whole process.

Statement of claim:

This statement in the court is drafted and provided by Claimant or sometimes by the lawyer. This statement is required to be in written form, and also it should be written in the Arabic language. In this written statement, there are several things included, such as the names of the parties involved in the case, location, and addresses of the parties. Plus, their phone numbers, along with the legal grounds for the claim, request, and claimant demand, is also involved in it. This statement is actually a summary of the leads and facts.

Submission of claim:

Once the statement is done, it then submitted to the court by using an online system. And when the case management department in the family court receives the claim, they study the claim in detail.  Following this, the court will further require clarification by the Claimant and this clarification will include all the facts, contact details of all parties, and all other essential information for the claim to proceed.

Notification process:

It is the most crucial yet challenging part of the process. This is the most lengthy and time-consuming step in the whole process, and it takes 30 to 40% of the time from the entire case. And when it comes to filing a case, the clerk of the court is responsible for issuing summons for service of the court proceedings. The summons issued by the clerk is then signed by the court.

Memos process:

Once the process of notification of the parties is done, the process of exchanging memos starts. The starting memo is submitted by the family solicitor or by the Claimant to the court. And once it is done, one of two things will happen. Firstly, the respondent requires extra time from the court in order to study the claim, or the respondent might need some time in order to appoint a lawyer. Secondly, the family law lawyer will ask the Claimant to study the file which has attended the first hearing.

Offering statement:

And it is mandatory by the law that during the time of proceedings, the family court Parramatta must provide the parties with an amicable settlement to the dispute.
