QLD Domestic Violence - How Many Mentions Before a Hearing ?

[Ozgirl]

Hi

I first lodged a Domestic Violence Application in May 2017 and shortly afterwards the other party submitted a Cross Application.

It is now 2019 and the matter has been adjourned for another mention in April.

There have been over 13 mentions to date.

Is this normal? Can I move my application to another Court?

Thank you

No it is not normal. You need the approval of the court to move to another court. What court is it in now and where do you want your matter moved to?

Either your case is badly managed by the court, or one or both of the parties is playing games, or a mixture of bad management and the playing of games.

It is often a sign one of the parties doesn't have a lawyer.
