REVIEWED BY: Sean McNamara on 2026-08-31
Applications this court accepts
- A58 — Adoption application: download from gov.uk
- FL401 — Non-molestation / occupation order application: download from gov.uk
Where to get the forms
All family forms are free to download from gov.uk. You can also ask the court office to post them to you. Fee remission (Help with Fees) applies if you are on a low income — apply using EX160 at the same time as your application.
Filing tips
1. Check the latest version — forms are re-issued; download fresh rather than reusing old copies. 2. Send the right number of copies — usually original + 1 copy for the court, plus copies for each respondent. 3. Keep proof of filing — get the court to date-stamp your copy, or send by tracked post. 4. Keep a copy of everything you send — you will need it for your bundle later.
