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).

        [Section 205A inserted: No. 35 of 2006 s. 101.]
