Section 70NBB — Family Law Act 1975: Make-up time parenting orders

(1) If a child does not spend time with a person as required by a child-related order as a result of the alleged contravention mentioned in subsection 70NBA(1), then, in lieu of that time, the court may make a parenting order (a make-up time parenting order) that the child spend time with the person. Note 1: Parenting orders are made under Division 6. Note 2: The court may also make an order requiring the respondent to compensate another person for reasonable expenses incurred as a result of a child not spending time with that other person: see paragraph 70NBF(1)(c). (2) The court may make a make-up time parenting order at any stage of the proceedings. (3) To avoid doubt, the amount of time specified in the make-up time parenting order may be different from the amount of time that the child missed with the person as a result of the alleged contravention.
