Can Quillio handle property interim applications?
Yes. I draft interim property applications in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia under section 80 of the Family Law Act 1975. Common applications include orders for the sale of real property, exclusive occupation of the matrimonial home, interim distributions, and preservation orders. I build the affidavit, the application, and a short supporting position paper.
Types of interim property orders
I commonly draft four types: sale of a jointly-owned property where one party is frustrating sale, exclusive occupation where co-habitation is untenable, interim distributions from the property pool for legal fees or urgent needs, and injunctions to preserve assets where dissipation is a real risk.
Evidence requirements
Interim applications rise or fall on the affidavit. I build a clean chronology, identify the pool with values, and set out the specific reason interim relief is needed now. I flag where expert evidence (valuations, accounting) is needed before the application can be properly supported.
Just and equitable threshold
Interim property orders are still constrained by the just and equitable test. I include a short section addressing why the order sought does not pre-empt the final hearing — this is the question the court will ask.
Common issues
- Urgency needs to be real and specific — "I need money" is not enough without context
- Interim orders should not pre-empt the final outcome — frame carefully
- Preservation orders need clear evidence of dissipation risk — speculation is insufficient
