143FVOs made in other jurisdictions

143 FVOs made in other jurisdictions (1) Division 9.2 applies to an FVO made in another participating jurisdiction that is a recognised FVO in that jurisdiction under the corresponding law for that jurisdiction. (2) To remove any doubt, section 119 (Recognition of FVOs) extends to the following FVOs: (a) any interstate FVO that was made in another participating jurisdiction before the commencement day that is a recognised FVO in that jurisdiction; (b) any foreign order that became a registered foreign order in another participating jurisdiction before the commencement day that is a recognised FVO in that jurisdiction.

(3) Section 120 and section 121 extend to any amendment or revocation of an FVO mentioned in subsection (2), that was done in a participating jurisdiction before the commencement day, as if the FVO were a recognised FVO. (4) However, a non-local FVO, and any amendment of a non-local FVO, does not become enforceable against the respondent in the ACT, under this part, until the commencement day (even if the making of the FVO, or amendment, was properly notified before that date).
