Before the first hearing, the applicant will serve a copy of the Application on every party (the child, parents and guardians). On the first page of the Application the hearing date and time will be provided. At the first hearing, the matter may be adjourned for another date. If this happens, a sheriff’s officer will give a piece of paper to all of the parties with the details of the next hearing.
If you can’t find your paperwork, you can call the Registry on (08) 8204 0331 and ask when the next hearing is. You will need to provide the full name and date of birth of one of the children in the matter.
