NSW Orders Requesting Directions Hearing at Family Law Court

[RachelT]

Just looking for some help as to orders that I should request a directions hearing next week at Family Law Court. This is a Property directions hearing after failing to formalise an agreement after conciliation. I would like to move straight to a final hearing, however will an interim be granted instead or what other orders can I request? The other side refuses to engage and sign papers.

Any guidance would be beneficial.

It sounds like you might get interim orders - perhaps double check with the family court registry about the correct form/application to file. I can see that there are forms for an initiating application for final orders: Court Fees (Family Law) - Family Court of Australia

Hi I saw your post.. I'm having my first Directions Hearing soon at the Federal Court Circuit. The other side prepared an amended Initiating Affidavit and I was meant to provide a Response to their amended Affidavit.
My legal Rep said it's not necessary for this hearing so I'm not providing a Response.
My question is, will that have any negative affect on my case? Or are Response Affidavits not compulsory at this stage?
