Urgent Applications

Urgent applications arise where immediate court intervention is required to address a pressing issue in a family law matter. These applications are typically reserved for situations where delay may cause significant prejudice, risk, or disruption.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides advice on urgent family law applications, assisting clients to assess whether their circumstances warrant urgent court involvement and how such applications are approached in practice. Our focus is on providing clear advice at an early stage so clients understand both the urgency and the legal thresholds that apply.

​

Urgent applications may relate to parenting matters, financial issues, compliance with existing orders, or situations requiring immediate protective measures. We advise clients on the evidence required, procedural requirements, and the risks associated with proceeding urgently.

​

Where an urgent application is appropriate, we assist with preparation and filing in accordance with court rules and timeframes. Where urgency is not established, we provide clear guidance on alternative options and next steps. In suitable matters, advice may be offered on an agreed, fixed-fee basis through Crownmark Assured Pricing (CAP) to provide clarity around scope and costs.
