Yes, it is possible. Urgent applications are usually associated with matters where a delay in a court hearing the matter will result in some irreversible damage such as:

• dissipation of assets;
• a child being taken overseas;
• a spouse left impecunious without a spousal maintenance order.

Can the application be heard outside of normal Family Law Court Hours if very urgent?

Yes, if time is of the essence in a potential family law court application, an application can be heard outside of normal court hours.
