My children and I have just come through Family Violence. He was convicted 14 months ICO with rehab and AVO in place for children and I for two years. I thought we could breathe for awhile. Not even three weeks later I now have Federal Court papers for a date in December for him going for custody. I now have to face my abuser and fight for the safety of my children.
Why would I have been served Federal Court papers and not Family Court papers for Child Custody?
If there is a AVO would it go in my favour for custody?
I have evidence of further family violence. Psychologist reports that the children are terrified of their father etc.
I did relocate 3.5 hours away and have psychologist recommendations to do so to be close to my family for support.
Any advice appreciated.
