24 Power of court to vary or revoke recognised non-local DVOs
(1) A court may vary or revoke a recognised DVO that is a non-local DVO in accordance with this Part as if the DVO were a local DVO.
(2) A court cannot vary or revoke a non-local DVO if it is a kind of DVO that cannot be varied or revoked by a court in the jurisdiction in which the DVO was made.
(3) A variation to or revocation of a recognised DVO that is done under this Part is not limited in its operation to Tasmania.
(4) This Part does not apply to the variation or revocation of a foreign order that is registered as a registered foreign order in Tasmania.
