WA Which Form to Use for Spousal Maintenance Application?

[Becboo]

Can someone please tell me which form I should use to apply for urgent spousal maintenance prior to agreeing to a property settlement? My ex has cleared out funds and refuses to pay the mortgage but will not provide complete disclosure either so property settlement could take some time.

If you are planning on self representing you can refer to the self litigants handbook to apply for spousal maintenance:
http://www.familycourt.wa.gov.au/_files/SRL%20Handbooks/Handbook_Property_Cases.pdf

The form you are looking for is a form 1 http://www.familycourt.wa.gov.au/_files/June2012/Form1_Web_July2012.pdf to commence proceedings and it will need to be supported by a form 13 (financial statement) http://www.familycourt.wa.gov.au/_files/Form13.pdf and an affidavit http://www.familycourt.wa.gov.au/_files/Affidavit.pdf to support your claim for spousal maintenance

While you can undertake this process yourself you may benefit from at least an initial meeting with a family lawyer. You can make contact with a lawyer in you area at:https://lawtap.com/au/

I am in need of the same application forms as Becboo, however, the case is in the Sydney area. Is there a similar link that you can direct me to where I could find these same urgent spousal maintenance application forms needed that are for the courts in Sydney?

Your help would be greatly appreciated as I have seemingly searched everywhere I can think of and am only coming up with links Explaining who can qualify, but fail to provide where this paperwork can be found.

Thank you in advance! (I am a friend of a woman whose spouse earns just under $1 million/year but is starving her access to any finances in an attempt to bully her into a very unreasonable split of their mutual assets.

Hi these should do the trick:

Spousal Maintenance - Family Court of Australia
Initiating Application (form) - Family Court of Australia
