Common confusion points
Mistaking this for a simple application; this requires an official 'Order'.
Not knowing whether your case fits 6E(11) specifically, as other sections exist.
Filing it in the wrong Court jurisdiction (e.g., filing a Dublin order in Cork).
Assuming the form covers parental rights entirely, when it is specific to guardianship under that section.
