The Family Court of Western Australia information notes and practice directions page, opened on 22 October 2026, did not show a title about artificial intelligence. The FCFCOA practice direction was not applied to that Court from this list.

## Key facts

- Kind: Checklist. Steps or checks to work through and tick off.
- Practice area: [Family Law](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/family-law.md)
- Jurisdictions: Australia, Western Australia
- AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on.
- Law stated as at: 2026-10-22
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-22 against the authority it cites, for Australia and Western Australia.

## When to use it

Use before assuming that the Family Court of Western Australia has adopted the FCFCOA AI practice direction, or that it has none. Open the list again on the day of the step. The PDFs on the list were not opened.

## Used for these tasks

- [Check the Family Court of Western Australia page before assuming an AI practice direction](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-law/check-the-family-court-of-western-australia-page-before-assuming-an-ai-p.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may record the date and the titles that were visible. The lawyer decides whether any unopened PDF, or a later note, changes the position.

**AI may:**

- Record the date the list was opened and that no visible title mentioned artificial intelligence
- List any new title that does mention it, for the lawyer to open

**AI must not:**

- Must not state that the Family Court of Western Australia has no AI requirement
- Must not apply the FCFCOA practice direction to a Family Court of Western Australia document because this list was silent
- Must not draft the Family Court of Western Australia affidavit forms. They are separate tasks

**The lawyer checks:**

- The list is opened again before the document is filed
- Any note or direction whose title could cover evidence, experts or technology is opened. None was opened from this page
- A Western Australian family law affidavit still follows that Court's form
