Prepare
If available, keep the judgment, sentence or order, dates received, case reference, custody information and earlier challenge papers.
Step 1
Record exactly what was decided and identify any document or part of the decision you do not have.
Step 2
Ask which route and court may apply, what records are needed, which dates matter and how custody or earlier proceedings affect the next step.
Step 3
Discuss these notes with an advocate of your choice, or open NALSA’s legal-aid information to ask about professional assistance. The service determines eligibility and representation.
What to check
The lawyer can assess a dated, complete account of the stage reached.
If you need help
If papers are incomplete, seek professional help promptly and ask how to obtain the missing record.
