Time Limits in Family Law - How Long Do I Have To Pursue My Matter In Court? Divorce, property settlement, and spousal maintenance proceedings are all accompanied by Court regulated time limits and constraints and differ depending on whether you are party to a marriage or de facto relationship. There are constrained circumstances to which a party may grant leave from the Court to pursue an action outside of the prescribed time limit. The Court will consider if the party has a genuine reason for applying to the Court outside of these restraints, including the hardship that may be incurred if that party is prevented from applying, and any disadvantage to the other party. If you decide to file an application or commence proceedings, it is important you are aware of the various restrictions.
