4 Court Orders in Family Proceedings
Published in Judith Hendrick, Child Care Law for Health Professionals, 2018
A contact order ‘requires the person with whom a child lives, or is to live, to allow the child to visit or stay with the person named in the order, or for that person and the child to have contact with each other’. In other words it compels the child’s carer to permit visits or whatever type of contact is specified to the person(s) named in the order.

We examined data on the context, case processes, and outcomes of sexual misconduct incidents reported to Title IX coordinators at public 4-year IHEs, community colleges, and independent IHEs (see Table 1). Findings show that of the 3,829 reported incidents nearly 53% took place on campus. To the Title IX coordinator’s knowledge, 18.62% of incidents were reported to non-campus law enforcement and 48.66% were reported to campus police, security, or safety; however, these figures were not mutually exclusive such that, for example, an incident may have been reported to both municipal police and campus safety. In about one-quarter of incidents (24.39%) reporting individuals sought out a no-contact order; in nearly two-thirds of reported incidents (74.12%), reporting individuals were referred to services such as mental health counseling, medical, or legal services.

Canadian RBs have not been thoroughly examined across most jurisdictions to answer questions around the consistent application of federal law that balances public safety with social reintegration. Although several understudied jurisdictions merited investigation of their RB system, Alberta was uniquely positioned to fill this gap given the development of an extensive NCR database and program of research that has examined its NCR population. Therefore, this research tracked the trajectories and outcomes of NCR individuals through one understudied provincial RB system to build upon the tradition of NTP studies. For the present study, electronic and hardcopy data were collected and integrated with an existing database on Alberta NCR individuals (Haag et al., 2016; Richer et al., 2018). The primary research questions were fourfold and supplemented by a series of adjunct analyses:Is detention length associated with risk or legislatively (i.e., public safety, treatment) relevant factors?What is the association between RB dispositions, and their corresponding privileges (i.e., grounds, community pass, community accommodations) and conditions (i.e., treatment orders, no victim contact order) in terms of restrictiveness?How long do NCR individuals spend detained in custody versus living in the community while under warrant, and what is the likelihood of release (i.e., conditional discharge or absolute discharge)?What is the association between clinician recommendations and dispositions assigned?
