FAMILY VIOLENCE PROTECTION ACT 2008 - SECT 91

Decision about contact with child

S. 91(1) amended by No. 18/2010 s. 23.

    (1)     If the court decides to make a family violence intervention order and the protected person or the respondent is the parent of a child, the court must     decide whether or not it will or may jeopardise the safety of the protected person or child for the child to live with, spend time with or communicate with the respondent.

    (2)     For the purposes of making a decision under subsection (1), a previous lack of violence by the respondent towards the child is not on its own sufficient reason to decide that the child's safety will not be jeopardised by living with, spending time with or communicating with the respondent.
