Can Quillio draft NSW family law consent orders?
Yes. Quillio drafts Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia consent orders for property settlement, parenting matters, and combined orders. Drafts are produced in the current FCFCOA format from your inputs (parties, property pool, parenting arrangements). NSW family lawyers use this workflow as the starting point for any consent orders matter.
What types of consent orders Quillio drafts
Quillio drafts property settlement consent orders (under section 79 of the Family Law Act for married couples and section 90SM for de facto couples), parenting consent orders covering parental responsibility and time arrangements, and combined orders that address both. Standard ancillary clauses are included automatically.
What you provide
Provide the parties' details (names, addresses), the property pool with values (real estate, superannuation, savings, debts), the proposed division (percentages or specific transfers), and the parenting arrangements if applicable. Quillio asks clarifying questions if anything is missing.
What you get back
A structured draft of the consent orders in current FCFCOA format with numbered orders, ready to review and send to the other party. The draft includes property orders, superannuation splitting orders (where applicable), and standard ancillary orders for cost of transfer and mutual release.
Step-by-step
- Open the consent orders workflow in Quillio. In Quillio, select "Draft consent orders" from the family law workflows.
- Enter the matter details. Provide the parties, the property pool, and the proposed division. For parenting orders, add the children's details and the proposed arrangements.
- Get the structured draft. Quillio produces a draft in current FCFCOA format. Each order is numbered and grouped by category (property, superannuation, parenting, ancillary).
- Review and send. Review the draft, make any edits, and send it to the other party for review and signing. Export to Word when ready.
Common issues
- Superannuation splitting orders require a procedural fairness notice in some circumstances — Quillio flags when this is required
- Notional adjustments for assets disposed of during the relationship must be included in the property pool — make sure to provide them
- The court will only make orders that are just and equitable — significant departures from a 50/50 division need to be supported by contributions or future needs analysis
