### sec.57 Court may impose other conditions
A court making or varying a domestic violence order must consider whether imposing any other condition is necessary or desirable to protect—
the aggrieved from domestic violence; or
a named person from associated domestic violence; or
a named person who is a child from being exposed to domestic violence.
Without limiting subsection (1) , a court making a domestic violence order must consider whether to impose an ouster condition on the respondent in relation to the aggrieved’s usual place of residence.
The principle of paramount importance to the court must be the principle that the safety, protection and wellbeing of people who fear or experience domestic violence, including children, are paramount.
