Guide
Family law files follow the Federal Circuit and Family Court practice direction. Sensitive material stays out of public tools, and a financial summary is checked against the source documents.
Proceedings in that Court follow its practice direction on artificial intelligence. Read it before a document is uploaded or filed. The family-lawyers guide on this site is a pointer to that direction, not a substitute for it.
A protected address, medical information, information about a child, and subpoenaed, discovery or suppressed material stay out of a public tool unless the direction’s closed-environment conditions are met. The Uniform Law statement and Queensland Guidance Statement No. 37 point the same way on confidentiality. They do not authorise an upload the direction forbids.
Balances, values and who owns what are read off the bank statement, the valuation and the disclosure, not off the model’s table. The Law Society of New South Wales guide expects that check from the solicitor. An affidavit in this Court still has to be the deponent’s own evidence. The affidavit guide is the place for that limit.

Only inside the FCFCOA practice direction. Public tools are the wrong place for protected, medical, child, subpoenaed or suppressed material unless that direction’s closed-environment conditions are met.
Profiles firms compare are listed on the family-lawyers guide, including FamilyProperty and LEAP. A listing is not approval for a parenting file.
No, unless the FCFCOA direction allows that environment. The affidavit also has to be the deponent’s own words. Read the direction and the affidavit guide.
