FL403 (Application to Vary, Extend or Discharge an Order)

The form used to ask the court to change (vary), extend, or cancel (discharge) an existing order made under Part 4 of the Family Law Act 1996 — most commonly a non-molestation or occupation order. You might use FL403 if circumstances have changed since the order was made, if you need the order to last longer, or if you want the order set aside. Either the applicant or the respondent can apply. The court will list a hearing so both sides can be heard before deciding whether to vary, extend, or discharge the order.
