Every family law matter plan on this page has been created and refined by verified legal practitioners. Our community-driven approach means plans reflect real-world practice, not theoretical frameworks.
Suggest improvements, flag outdated procedures, or contribute entirely new plans. All suggestions are peer-reviewed and voted on by the community before being incorporated.
The Open Matter Plans Network provides free, community-curated family law workflow templates specifically designed for Victoria practitioners. Our Victoria family law library currently includes 10 matter plans, including 7 specialised derivative forks. 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.
