119 Recognition of FVOs (1) Each of the following FVOs is a recognised FVO in the ACT: (a) a local FVO; (b) an interstate FVO made in a participating jurisdiction; (c) a foreign order that is a registered foreign order in any participating jurisdiction. Note Recognition can also extend to FVOs made in jurisdictions that are not, or are not yet, a participating jurisdiction (see div 9.6). (2) An FVO becomes a recognised FVO when it is made. Note A foreign order is taken to be made when it is registered as a registered foreign order (see s 118). (3) An FVO is a recognised FVO, subject to this part, for the period for which it remains in force in the jurisdiction in which it is made.
