Adjournment of application – proceedings in Family Court
20 Adjournment of application – proceedings in Family Court
If proceedings in relation to the property of de facto partners or either of them are commenced in the Family Court of Australia at any time before a court has made a final order under Division 3 to adjust interests with respect to the property of the partners or either of them, the court may adjourn its hearing of the application for the order.
Where the hearing of the application has been adjourned, either the applicant for the order or the respondent to the application may apply to the court for the hearing to proceed if the proceedings in the Family Court are delayed.
Nothing in this section limits the power of the court to grant or refuse an adjournment in relation to any proceedings before it.
