What is a recovery order and how can that help me?
The text explains what a recovery order is, the circumstances under which it can be issued, and the legal processes involved in ensuring the safe return of children. If you need more information about recovery orders, keep reading.
Understanding Recovery Orders
A recovery order is useful in circumstances where your former partner might be withholding the children, especially if there are risks at their home. There may also be urgent situations, such as the return of school, where the children aren’t being taken by your former partner.
Purpose of Urgent Recovery Orders
An urgent recovery order is a special order made by a court in limited circumstances, particularly when a primary carer is deprived of the opportunity to provide essential care for their children and meet their needs. If granted, a recovery order will require your former partner to return the children to their familiar home and ensure their school attendance to protect them from risk.
Enforcement of Recovery Orders
If the former partner does not comply with the recovery order, the Australian Federal Police can be activated to approach them at their residence and return the children home safely.
Considerations and Support
It’s important to note that this is not an easy process, nor one that we ever want for children. Any interaction with the police can be confronting. However, it’s essential to know that this option exists should your former partner fail to comply with your wishes or the court’s direction.
Ultimately, a recovery order can ensure the children are returned safe and sound. For more family law advice like this, feel free to reach out to Genuine Legal for a consultation. Call us on 0721134645 if you need our assistance.
