Check family law parenting orders against the conditions sought and the court’s power to vary them
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the sealed parenting orders, any family law proceedings on file and the protection order application, list each parenting order term (time, changeover, communication) beside each condition sought and mark every point where compliance with one would breach the other, noting whether material is available that was not before the family law court.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether to ask the court to revive, vary, discharge or suspend the family law order under s 68R, confirms the conditions in s 68R(3) are met, takes the client’s instructions on changeover and contact, and checks that any changeover arrangement proposed keeps the protected person and children safe.

- Before anything is relied on, confirm the material may lawfully and safely go into the tool (approved tool, no retention or training), and that no output reveals the protected person’s address, workplace, school, refuge or new contact details.
- Check each term against the sealed orders, not a summary in correspondence.
- Confirm the s 68R(3) conditions: a family violence order is being made or varied, and there is material not before the court that made the parenting order.
- Confirm the client’s instructions on any changeover or contact proposal before it is raised.
