Recognition of DVOs
10 Recognition of DVOs
Each of the following DVOs is a recognised DVO in Tasmania:a local DVO; an interstate DVO made in a participating jurisdiction; a foreign order that is a registered foreign order in any participating jurisdiction. Recognition can also extend to DVOs made in jurisdictions that are not, or are not yet, participating jurisdictions. See Part 6.
A DVO becomes a recognised DVO when it is made. A foreign order is taken to be made when it is registered as a registered foreign order.
A DVO is a recognised DVO, subject to this Act, for the period for which it remains in force in the jurisdiction in which it is made.
