A Child Recovery Order is defined in the Family Law Act. In essence, it is an order of the Court that can require a child be returned to a parent of the child person who has a parenting order that states the child lives with, spends time with or communicates with that person; or a person who has parental responsibility for the child. A Recovery Order can will usually authorise or direct a person or persons, such as Police Officers, to take all appropriate action required to find, recover and deliver a child or children to one of the people listed above. In addition, a Recovery Order can provide directions about the day-to-day care of a child or children until the child is or children are returned or delivered.
Recovery Orders can also be so wide as to prohibit the defaulting person from again removing or taking possession of the child or children and will usually, in these cases, be wide enough to authorise the arrest (without warrant) of the defaulting person if he or she again removes or takes possession of the child or children. You can apply for a recovery order if you are a person who the child lives with, spends time with or communicates with as stated in a parenting order; or a person who has parental responsibility for the child in a parenting order; or grandparent of the child, or person concerned with the care, welfare and development of the child.
