Common confusion points
Confusing 'Disposition' with 'Removal': Disposition means selling, gifting, or otherwise changing ownership. Removal is just taking it out of the home.
Thinking this form replaces everything: It only addresses items; it doesn't settle custody or financial matters automatically.
Not knowing which court to use: The correct court depends on where the family home is located and the nature of the dispute.
Assuming the Order lasts forever: Most Orders have a set expiry date unless the court specifies otherwise.
