Great news! When we spoke with the duty lawyer this morning, he explained that the mother had already attended a first mention for a interim domestic violence order and had been refused.
On this news we stated we intended to refute the DVO. After hours of waiting around the duty lawyer informed us the mother was intending to withdraw her application!
Such a weight lifted off our shoulders that we can focus on the next child directions hearing and get this affidavit finished. Hopefully no more DVO's!
Also the grandmother had her interview last night with the police in regards to the charges that have been pressed on her by the mother, nothing is official as of yet but he told the grandmother not to worry as he couldn't see anything worth pressing charges on.
