## Checking plan

**Check every line**

The lawyer checks every entry and resolves ambiguity or conflict before the sheet is given to a client.

- What the AI does: Extract obligations from the complete current orders into a draft table of dates, handovers, communication and travel arrangements.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects the consequence of an error and the amount of independent review the described output needs.
- Restriction: Do not use AI to decide what is in a child’s best interests or to resolve competing orders.
- Written for: AU

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the complete sealed orders and every later variation are included; check relevant family violence orders separately.
2. Trace each arrangement to its exact paragraph, preserving exceptions, notice periods, conditions and who must act.
3. Check dates, school holiday references, locations and communication channels with the client and the source orders.
4. Resolve ambiguity with the lawyer and review safety-sensitive details before issuing the sheet; make clear that the orders govern.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. The cited court, tribunal or scheme requirements apply only within their stated scope.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Australia: FCFCOA parenting matters; confirm any other applicable court orders

**Deliverable**: A client-ready arrangements sheet with paragraph references.

**Inputs**

- Current sealed orders and variations
- Relevant family violence orders
- Confirmed school calendar where needed

**Example**: Illustrative example: An order requires notice before overseas travel. The draft highlights the notice requirement and passport condition instead of reducing the order to a single travel date.

**Stop and escalate when**

- Orders conflict or the operative version is uncertain.
- A simplified instruction would remove a safety condition or disclose a protected location.
