For family law specialists

More time on clients. Less time in the Family Law Act.

Quillio gives Australian family lawyers faster research across the Family Law Act, FCFCOA authorities, and state de facto regimes — and drafts consent orders, affidavits, and financial statements in AU family law style.

In short

Quillio is built for Australian family law practice — parenting matters, property settlements, spousal maintenance, de facto disputes, child support, and family violence. It is trained weekly on the Family Law Act 1975, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia Rules 2021, FCFCOA authorities, and state de facto and family violence legislation, so research and drafting are grounded in current AU family law.

The reality

What gets in the way

The frustrations we hear from family law specialists again and again.

Parenting matters are emotionally expensive and time-expensive

Every family law file carries a human cost. The hours you spend in the Family Law Act, building chronologies, and drafting affidavits are hours you are not spending listening to clients who need to be heard.

Financial disclosure is a mountain

Bank statements, superannuation, trust structures, business interests, tax returns — property matters can run to hundreds of pages of disclosure. Building the balance sheet by hand is slow and error-prone.

2024 Family Law Act amendments shifted the ground

The May 2024 amendments removed the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility and restructured best interests considerations. Tools trained on older material still apply the old framework.

Consent orders and binding financial agreements carry long tails

Drafting errors in BFAs and consent orders surface years later — often in front of a different judge. Every clause needs to read cleanly against the current Family Law Act and case law.

What changes with Quillio

Questions

Family Law Specialist FAQs

Is Quillio current on the 2024 Family Law Act amendments?

Yes. Quillio is trained weekly on the Family Law Act as amended, including the Family Law Amendment Act 2023 (which commenced May 2024) — removal of the equal shared parental responsibility presumption, the restructured best interests framework, and the current parental responsibility provisions. Research outputs reflect the current framework, not the pre-amendment position.

How does Quillio handle the FCFCOA Rules 2021?

Quillio is trained on the current Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Family Law) Rules 2021, plus current practice directions. Procedural research — filing requirements, disclosure obligations, conciliation conferences — reflects the rules as they apply in current practice.

Can Quillio draft consent orders that are actually usable?

Quillio produces first-draft consent orders in current AU family law drafting style — parenting orders, property orders, and combined orders. The first draft is a starting point; your review, client input, and professional judgment on enforceability make it final. Most family lawyers report the first-draft stage is where Quillio saves the most time.

What about state de facto and family violence regimes?

Quillio covers state de facto property and family violence legislation — including family violence protection order regimes in each state and territory. State-specific research is important where matters intersect with state courts.

Is client information safe given how sensitive family matters are?

Yes. Quillio holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, and client material stays on Australian infrastructure. That is consistent with law society AI guidance and with the heightened confidentiality expectations family clients bring. Nothing about a family matter leaves Australian soil.

Will Quillio help with child support and spousal maintenance?

Yes. Quillio handles research on spousal maintenance under the Family Law Act and administrative review of child support assessments under the Child Support (Assessment) Act. It can draft maintenance applications and review departure assessment decisions — always with citations you can verify.

Try Quillio on your own work.

For a family lawyer, the most telling evaluation is a real parenting or property file — upload the disclosure, see Quillio build the balance sheet and chronology, then test a drafting task against your own voice. The free trial needs no credit card and no sales call.
