If you reach agreement at the Conciliation Conference, the Registrar will push the agreement back to your FamilyProperty Account.
General Disclaimer: The wording in the draft property orders is auto-populated from the information in the schedule of assets & liabilities. The draft orders are not produced by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. They may not reflect all relevant issues in this matter. Parties must check all draft orders carefully, and prior to submission to the court for consideration and ensure that all issues relevant to the proceedings are addressed.
Once the draft orders are generated, you can change the wording as per your own precedent (if applicable).
Notification of Agreement
You will receive a notification by email that the agreement has been transferred to your account.
You will also receive a notification when you log in to your FamilyProperty account.
Your schedule of assets and liablities will be updated with the agreement sent to you by the Registrar.
