The Forms Library covers 40 distinct Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) forms. They sit in three maturity tiers based on what level of platform support is currently available.

​
Tier 1 — Gold Standard (10 forms)

Full interactive desktop builder with AI prompts, validation, and court-form-compliant PDF output. The platform walks you through the form field by field. Pre-populates from your Master Case File. Cross-references your Evidence Portfolio. Validates as you go. Use these when you can. The fastest path from blank page to filed form.
Court filing fees are gazetted annually and increase each 1 July. Always check the FCFCOA family-law fees page for the current fee before filing. Reduced or waived fees are available for parties on Centrelink concession cards or in financial hardship — see the Fee Exemption form for details.

​
Conversational variant — Form 11

Form 11 has an additional conversational Q&A interview at /form-11-conversational that can replace the desktop builder for users who prefer chat. The output is the same court-form-compliant PDF.

​
Tier 2 — Phase 1 complete (1 form)

Substantial interactive build but not yet at full Gold Standard quality. Functional today; refinement ongoing. The platform-internal distinction here is that the parenting-matter version is fully Gold Standard while the property-only version is at 85% — usable, but with refinement still pending around the post-10-June-2025 property amendments (codified four-step framework, family-violence considerations, companion animals).

​
Tier 3 — Educational overview only (28 forms)

Educational page explaining the form’s purpose, when you’d file it, the key sections, common pitfalls, and the cost. No interactive build flow yet. If you need one of these forms today: read the platform’s overview page for context, download the form from the FCFCOA website, fill manually (or with a lawyer), and refer back to the overview while you fill.

​
Application + interim forms

​
Affidavit forms

​
Divorce forms

Why some forms are Gold Standard and others aren’t

A practical question: why aren’t all 40 forms at Gold Standard quality? Two reasons:
  1. Volume. The 10 Gold Standard forms cover ~80% of the form-filing volume in self-represented family-law matters. Building interactive flows is high-effort work; concentrating on the most-trafficked forms has highest leverage.
  2. Stability. Some forms are more stable than others — Form 11 hasn’t changed materially in years. Others are subject to ongoing legislative or rule changes (notably the property forms post-10-June-2025 amendments). Forms in the Overview tier include several that are pending re-build to reflect the 2025 amendments.
The roadmap is to move Tier 3 forms to Tier 1 over time. See What’s new for changelog updates.
For Tier 3 forms, RYTZ’s AI assistant remains useful. Even without an interactive builder, you can ask the AI things like “what does paragraph 7 of the Acknowledgment of Service form mean?” or “what should I put in box 4 of the Financial Questionnaire?” and it will reason from your matter’s context.
