24/7 Urgent Legal Crisis Hotline – 1300 162 693

When minutes matter, our emergency team moves—now. We’re on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to triage, draft, and file urgent court material in family law and domestic violence matters.

What We Do—Fast

Critical Incident List (FCFCOA): Same-day triage and filings for genuine emergencies affecting children’s safety, recovery, travel, or urgent welfare.

Urgent Airport Watch List Orders: Immediate applications to place children on the Family Law Watchlist to prevent unauthorised overseas travel.

Emergency Parenting & Recovery Orders: Rapid filings where time-sensitive arrangements or recovery are required.

Urgent Injunctions & Protection: Orders to preserve assets, protect safety, or maintain the status quo.

After-hours coordination: Liaison with the Registry, ICLs and relevant agencies where appropriate.

Our Speed Guarantee

We can have your urgent application prepared and filed within 8 hours.

(Where e-filing is available and instructions/evidence are provided promptly. If filing windows are closed, we lodge first thing next business hour and brief Counsel as needed.)

How It Works (Right Now)

  • Call the Hotline: We assess risk, urgency, and jurisdiction—on the spot.
  • Secure Instructions: You send ID and core evidence (texts, emails, affidavits, travel risks, police/medical notes).
  • Draft & Settle: We prepare the Initiating Application/Response, Affidavit, Annexures, and urgent listing request.
  • File & Escalate: We e-file and seek an urgent listing (including the Critical Incident List) and deliver sealed documents to you.
  • Appear: We brief Counsel or appear urgently for you (in-person or by Microsoft Teams/phone), and coordinate any Watch List request with the AFP via the Court.

Signs You Should Call Us Now

  • Credible risk of child removal or overseas travel without consent
  • Non-return of a child or sudden unilateral relocation
    Threats, coercion, stalking, or family violence escalation
  • Urgent need to freeze the status quo (schooling, residence, passports, assets)
  • Orders breached with immediate consequences for safety or welfare
  • What To Have Ready
  • Photo ID, current Orders (if any), key dates, and timeline of risk
  • Evidence: messages/emails, travel bookings, passport info, police/medical notes
  • Safe contact details and any relevant agency contacts
  • Transparent Costs

Clear, upfront quotes for urgent work. Fixed-fee options available for discrete stages (drafting, filing, appearance). We move first—then keep you fully informed on scope and spend.

Important

We act swiftly and ethically. Urgency does not guarantee a particular outcome; the Court retains discretion on listings and Orders. We will only bring applications that are proper, evidence-based, and necessary.
