What can I do if the co-parent in my Final Parenting Orders is not complying with the Orders?
We can give the short answer yes. You may be eligible to make an application for contravention with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
Do I need a lawyer to file the contravention?
It is important that you do seek legal advice to better understand your entitlements. However, if you go to the back of your Final Orders, you might find a passage that starts with “parenting orders: obligations, consequences and who can help”. Go there to start learning a little more about what your entitlements might be and what a contravention process might look like.
