A joint divorce application is where you and your spouse agree to prepare and file the joint application together. Therefore, both you and your spouse are joint applicants. If you and your spouse apply for a joint application, neither spouse needs to attend the divorce hearing unless you choose to and neither spouse needs to be served with the divorce application.
If you are applying for a divorce application on your own, this is known as a sole application for divorce. You are the applicant and your spouse is the respondent. Limited child support agreements must already have a child support assessment in place whereas a binding child support agreements do not require an assessment to be in place and can be entered into with or without a child support assessment.
If you have reached an agreement about the care, welfare and development of your children and want to formalise that agreement to make it binding, you can apply to the court by completing an Application for Consent Orders. An Application for Consent Orders can also be used if you are applying for consent orders which vary or discharge existing Family Court Orders.
A financial order is a set of orders made by the Federal Circuit Court or Family Court relating to the division of property, child support (in certain circumstances), and payment for spousal or de facto partner maintenance. Before you file an application with the court seeking property and financial orders, there is a requirement that the parties follow pre-action procedures, which includes attending dispute resolution.

Thanks to Tahnee Coonan for all your ongoing support! You have done an amazing job of representing myself! I feel as your encouragement to fight for the rights and best interest of my children has thus far been a positive journey, despite such unfortunate circumstances. Keep up the awesome work woman! You rock!
