Been Served Family Court Papers in Brisbane? Here’s Why Private Clients Choose Gullickson Lawyers
You've been served with an Initiating Application or a Notice of Intention to File in Brisbane. Learn how Gullickson Lawyers delivers strategic, clear and results-driven legal support for individuals ready to protect what matters most.
If You’ve Just Been Served, Time and Strategy Are Everything
If you’ve received an Initiating Application for Final Orders or a Notice of Intention to File from the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA), the next steps you take will shape your future. Whether it involves property, parenting arrangements, or spousal matters, you need fast, clear legal direction—from a team who knows how to move decisively and protect your interests from day one.
At Gullickson Lawyers, we assist clients who are ready to act strategically, not react emotionally. Based in Brisbane and trusted across Queensland, our firm works with individuals who expect high-quality service and value clarity, communication and results.
What These Court Papers Really Mean
An Initiating Application is how your estranged partner starts formal court proceedings for parenting, property or financial matters. Before it is filed, they must issue a Notice of Intention to File, giving you at least 14 days to respond with a genuine effort to resolve issues.
If you’ve received either of these, it means one thing: your matter is no longer theoretical. It’s happening. And your preparation will directly impact:
Your time with your children
Your share of the property settlement
Your long-term financial security
The court requires you to respond promptly, follow strict procedures, and disclose financial and parenting information fully. Errors or delays can be costly.
