| 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 order and the lawyer's instructions, populate the prescribed variation, revocation or extension form and draft a table setting each existing condition against the condition sought, the reason for the change and the expiry date. The lawyer settles any new condition. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer confirms who may apply, whether leave or a change of circumstances must be shown, whether the application must be filed before expiry, and whether the variation removes protection the client still needs. |

## 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 order and the lawyer's instructions, populate the prescribed variation, revocation or extension form and draft a table setting each existing condition against the condition sought, the reason for the change and the expiry date. The lawyer settles any new condition.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms who may apply, whether leave or a change of circumstances must be shown, whether the application must be filed before expiry, and whether the variation removes protection the client still needs.
- 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. Confirm the existing order from the sealed copy and confirm it is still in force; an order that has expired is replaced by a fresh application, not extended by a variation.
2. Confirm who may apply to vary or revoke in this scheme, and whether the protected person's consent, the court's leave or a demonstrated change in circumstances is required — particularly where police made the original application.
3. Check the expiry date, file any extension before it, and diarise a date that leaves time for service on the respondent.
4. Set each condition sought against the condition it replaces, and check the change does not strip protection the client still needs or create a condition that conflicts with a current parenting order.
5. Where the order was made in another jurisdiction, confirm this court can vary or revoke it before filing anything.

## 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.
