Diy divorce help

Can anybody please help me understand this. 
You need to lodge a Notice of Motion in triplicate, an up to date Affidavit of Means in triplicate by both parties (sworn no more than 6 months prior to issue) and a grounding affidavit exhibiting the signed agreed terms in triplicate[font=arial, sans-serif] [/font]
I know what I must do in relation to the affidavit of means. That bit is easy. I am having problems with the Notice of motion. I think I know what it is. It is a form which allows me to request a court date. But do I get this created by a solicitor or is there a template I can use. I have asked the court for one but they never seem to give me one. They just refer me to Order 59. 
Also what is a grounding affidavit. 

Thank you in advance

Call into your local courthouse. They will talk you through the process and give you copies of everything you need. They are generally very helpful.

Hi,

I had mine prepared by the DIY service I used. During my own case, I noticed that the courts website have some templates. There is a Notice of Motion here:

This is also a useful page (notice the templates at the bottom):

For what its worth, I found that once the clerk in the court office accepts and files your documents, they are not overly scrutinized by the judge on the day.

Can you provide a link to the DIY DIVORCE service you used?
