Hi all
Just had first mentions hearing regarding Familiy Violence Intervention Order, involving my partner and daughter against myself. DHHS, child protection involved. Allegations of drug use, alcohol and other situations taken out of context, dont know how in depth I should reveal. Duty lawyer advised to contest, which I did. Court has order my partner to produce Better & further particulars and has set another directions? hearing.
I don't qualify for legal aid but cant afford private lawyer, looking to self represent.
I need help/information on what exactly is next directions hearing.
Trying to get any relevent documentaion from DHHS but hitting brick walls everywhere. DHHS basically directed me to freedom of information, who directed me to get court subpoena. Magistrates court pointed me to Form 1/IVO13 document to fill in? Anyone with experience or knowledge of filling this form as I dont wont to make any mistakes, greatly appreciated.
Also, directions hearing. What can I expected, what can I/should I need to prepare for? Any ideas or suggestions big or small will be a great help to me.
Thanks in advance, riv.
