relationship between family violence orders and contact orders within the
meaning of that part. In particular, s 68J imposes an obligation on certain
people to inform the court of any family violence orders (including domestic
violence orders) and under s 68S certain people may apply for a declaration of
the extent to which a contact order is inconsistent with a family violence
order.
