Can an ADVO affect Family Law orders?

• No. An ADVO does not override an order of the Family Court.
• ADVO’s do not automatically affect parenting orders.
• A protected person does not have the right to refuse contact between the named person and a child that is required pursuant to an order of the Family Court. However the protected person may be able to request a variation of the Family Court orders based on the AVDO so that visits occur at a supervised contact centre if there are any fears for the safety of the children.
• If you wish to request a variation of your Family Court orders following a grant of an AVDO our LegalPlan™ membership will allow you to ask lawyers for a Fixed Fee Quote on your matter.
