家庭法披露简介

在家庭法中，充分和坦诚的披露是指当事人有责任向对方提供相关文件及其副本。这是为确保所有可能影响案件结果的文件会被提出，以实现公平。即使是对自己不利的文件也是必需的，因为这会在解决争议问题或为案件开辟新的调查线索方面有所帮助。

随着法律诉讼过程中情况的变化，任何新文件都应提供给你的律师，以便披露给对方。如果你是代表自己，你有责任向其他各方披露这些文件。以下信息仅适用于事项已在法庭进行时。

关于信息披露的法律

根据2001年《澳大利亚联邦巡回法院及家庭法院（家庭法）规则》所述，澳大利亚法律要求案件各方必须充分和坦诚地披露所有与案件相关的文件。

此外，澳大利亚法律要求所有涉及事宜的各方提交书面通知，声明他们已阅读家庭法规则的第6.1部分和第6.2部分，并且他们有意识到自己有义务充分和坦诚地披露所有相关信息，并且也尽自己最大的能力遵守了这一点。

法庭程序及应披露的相关文件

披露所需文件的类型随每个案件的具体情况而异。在任何情况下，通常有一些常见文件需要提供给您的律师以便正确评估和评价案件。如果自我代理，这些材料同样需要您向其他各方披露：

任何仅在您的名下或与其他当事人共同注册的任何财产的产权证书。包括因为作为公司的负责人或信托的受益人而与任何一方有关联的财产；
共同生活期间前、中或后，关于财产买卖的结算声明（如有）；
案件任何一方所拥有的任何财产评估或估价；
您名下所有银行账户以及您有利益或有访问权限的任何账户的银行对账单；
您名下车辆的任何行业估值（包括红皮书价值）；
您的雇佣合同以及至少最近三个月的工资单；
过去三年的税务申报表和评估通知书；
至少最近三年的养老金声明以及当前余额；
您可能有利益的任何商业合伙、公司或信托的文件；

未遵守披露标准及其后果

如果任何一方未能提供完整和坦诚的披露，这可能会严重影响法庭的判决，并因此那方可能会面临重罚。

首先，法院可能会将此类行为解释为故意试图影响法院公正审理案件，因此倾向于对被发现有此行为的当事人做出不利的判决。

其次，这可能导致案件事宜的最终解决时间延长，从而拖长了法律诉讼的时间，这不仅耗费时间，还需要支付法律费用，增加了金钱上的开销。

此外，未遵守准时把披露可能会影响双方之间达成的任何协议，如果那些没披露相关文件未后来被披露，这些协议可能会受到争议。

最后，有罪的一方可能会受到惩罚。这可能是以罚款的形式，甚至是监禁。

鉴于披露的严肃性，确保你准备好了澳大利亚法律法规所要求的必要文件是非常重要的。对于不熟悉的人来说，识别哪些文件与案件相关并不容易——幸运的是，你不必独自一人去做。咨询法律代表关于披露的文件不仅可以节省时间，还可以帮助你更清楚地获得有关法律程序的建议，公正地更好地帮助你的案件。

A brief introduction to disclosure in Family Law

In Family Law, as a matter of full and frank disclosure, it is the duty of the parties involved to provide the other party with documents as well as copies of documents that would be relevant to the case. This ensures that all documentation that could affect a case’s outcomes is brought up to achieve fairness. Even documents that are opposed to one’s advantage are necessary and may prove useful in resolving an issue that is under dispute, or open new lines of inquiry for the case.

As the situation changes throughout the course of legal proceedings, any new documents should be provided to your solicitor to disclose them to the other party. In the case of self-representation, it is incumbent for you to disclose these documents to the other parties yourself. The information below applies strictly when the matter has proceeded in Court.

The Law on Disclosure

Australian law, as outlined in The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Family Law) Rules 2001, requires that the parties to a case provide full and frank disclosure of all documents that are relevant to the case.

Additionally, Australian Law requires that all parties involved in the matters file a written notice stating that they have read parts 6.1 and 6.2 of the Family Law Rules, and that they are aware of their duty to give full and frank disclosure of all relevant information, and that they have complied with it to the best of their ability.

Court Procedure and the relevant documents that should be disclosed

The type of documents that are required to be provided for disclosure varies with the specific context of each case. In any case, there are common documents that are usually provided to your solicitor to properly assess and evaluate the case. Under self-representation, these material would likewise be required for you to disclose to the other parties:

Certificate of title/s for any properties registered solely or jointly under your name and/or the other party. Included are properties that either party has a part in, due to being an officeholder of a corporation or a beneficiary of a trust.
Settlement Statements, if any, of the sale or purchase of properties before, during or after the period of living together
Any valuations or appraisals for properties that any party to the case has
Bank statements for all bank accounts in your name as well as those for any account that you have an interest in or have access to;
Any industry valuations (including Redbook) for vehicles in your name;
Your employment contract and minimally your last 3 payslips;
Tax Returns and Notice of Assessments over the last three years;
Superannuation statements for the last 3 years at minimum, as well as the current balance;
Documents regarding any business partnership, company or trust in which you may have an interest;

Failure to Comply to Disclosure Standards and its Consequences

Failure on the part of either party to provide full and frank disclosure could heavily impact court decisions and as such come with heavy penalties.
Firstly, the court interpreting such actions as a deliberate attempt to affect the fairness of the court in judging the case, and hence inclines them to make unfavourable judgments on the parties caught doing so.

Second, it may result in a longer time for case matters to be finalised, leading to protracted period of legal proceedings, which costs both time and money (in the form of legal fees).

Additionally, it may affect any agreements made between the parties, which could be open to disputation if relevant documents had been kept from disclosure.

Lastly, the guilty party is liable to punishment. This may take the form of fines, or even imprisonment.

Given the seriousness of disclosure, it is important that you are prepared with the necessary documents required by Australian legal statutes. Identifying which documents are relevant to a case is not easy to the unacquainted – thankfully, you do not have to do it alone. Consulting with a legal representative about documents for disclosure not only saves time, it could also help in giving you clearer advice for legal proceedings that best help your case in a fair manner.
