## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Family Violence & Protection Orders](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| 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. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: 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 does: 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.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- 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 what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. 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.
2. Check each term against the sealed orders, not a summary in correspondence.
3. 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.
4. Confirm the client’s instructions on any changeover or contact proposal before it is raised.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
