The Process at a Glance: The practitioner verifies standing under section 86, ensuring the requested variation is strictly limited to provisions affecting the named person. Detailed instructions are taken regarding the impact of the conditions on the named person's welfare. Form DV04 and Form DV25 are drafted and filed, served on the principal parties and police commissioner, and the matter is managed through the first mention and subsequent hearing if contested.
Key Legislation and Case Law: Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012 (Qld) - s 86 (restricted standing for named persons), s 91 (welfare and safety tests), s 92. The Child Protection Act 1999 (Qld) is checked for concurrent Childrens Court proceedings. Witnessing complies with the Oaths Act 1867 (Qld) Part 6A.
