Use of injunctions to protect children

Once proceedings are on foot, injunctions may be sought either as an alternative to a State-based family violence order to protect a party or a child, or to restrain a party from either approaching a child or attempting to relocate the child to another area. Orders made under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) may be inconsistent to an extent with existing State-based family violence orders for the purpose of facilitating contact with a child or for attendance at a dispute resolution conference.
