FAMILY COURT ACT 1997 - SECT 205A
205A . Simplified outline of Division — FLA s. 70NAA
(1) This Division
deals with the powers that a court has to make orders to enforce compliance
with orders under this Act affecting children.
(2) A court always has
the power to vary the order under Subdivision 2, and, in doing so, the court
will have regard to any parenting plan that has been entered into since the
order was made (see section 205H).
(3) The other orders
that a court can make depend on whether —
(a) a
contravention is alleged to have occurred but is not established (Subdivision
3); or
(b) the
court finds that a contravention has occurred but there is a reasonable excuse
for the contravention (Subdivision 4); or
(c) the
court finds that there was a contravention and there is no reasonable excuse
for the contravention (Subdivision 5 for less serious contraventions and
Subdivision 6 for more serious contraventions).
