Family Law Act 1975

This section provides for bonds that a court may require a person to enter into under paragraph 112AD(2)(a).

A bond is to be for a specified period of up to 2 years.

A bond may be:

with or without surety; and

with or without security.

The conditions that may be imposed on a person by a bond include a condition requiring the person to be of good behaviour.

If a court proposes to require a person to enter into a bond, it must, before making the requirement, explain to the person, in language likely to be readily understood by the person:

the purpose and effect of the proposed requirement; and

the consequences that may follow if the person fails:

to enter into the bond; or

having entered into the bond—to act in accordance with the bond.
