Applications under Part 18 of the Family Procedure Rules 2010

This flowchart outlines the steps to follow for applications made under Part 18 of the Family Procedure Rules 2010. It applies where a party:

  • intends to commence proceedings where the rules prescribe no other procedure;
  • wishes to make an application in connection with proceedings that have already concluded.

For detailed practical guidance on the steps in the flowchart—including relevant overviews, Practice Notes, precedents, procedural guides, client guides, legislation, forms and further reading—see: Applications under FPR 2010, Parts 18 and 19—overview, or use the related documents on the right-hand side of the flowchart.
