Breaching parenting orders: what you can do
Send us Fan Mail Breaching parenting orders is more common than you'd think — but taking your ex back to court isn't always the best response. Bruce Provan, Managing Director and accredited family law specialist at Page Provan explains. In this video: What a contravention application involves, and why it needs to carefully set out the exact times, dates and places the order was breached The penalties a court can impose for a proven breach — from fines and bonds to, in extreme cases, imprisonment — and why the court still has discretion not to penalise at all Why an application to vary the parenting orders can sometimes be a better option than pursuing a contravention, since orders that aren't working may need to change rather than be enforced Why some parents who apply for contravention end up with less time with their children than before How parenting coordination offers a lower-cost way to fix what's not working, without going to court Need advice?
