🇦🇺 Australia - Queensland - Family Law - 20 plans
Queensland family law matters operate under both Commonwealth and state legislation. While the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) governs divorce, parenting, and property, Queensland has its own framework for domestic and family violence protection orders under the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012 (Qld).
Our Queensland family law plans cover DVO applications, cross-order management between family law and DVO proceedings, and state-specific requirements for the Queensland Magistrates Court. Plans reflect the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Rules 2014 and incorporate links to relevant Queensland court forms.

Each plan provides a structured checklist covering every stage of a legal matter, from initial instructions through to completion, with estimated time units, key dates, and role assignments.
All plans are maintained by verified legal practitioners and aligned to the SALI Alliance Legal Matter Standard Specification for taxonomy and interoperability. Plans can be exported to CSV for integration with your practice management system, or accessed programmatically via our JSON API.
