Good afternoon!

I was wondering if anyone can assist?

A mother and her husband are accused of "family violence" and an "at risk" notice is filed with the family court by the ex husband. The accused has not seen her daughter in over 6 weeks. The court has subpoenaed the West Australian Police for all incident reports in relation to Domestic Violence. The reports state either "CLOSED - NO OFFENCE" or "NOT PROCEEDED WITH"

The ex-husband has no other evidence of Family violence. The next court date is mid September. In light of the evidence is there any way that the mother can apply for an earlier hearing based on these false accusations?

Unlikely. September isn't that far away, it's unlikely they'll allocate very limited Court time and resources to a matter being heard in the very near future just to save the mother one or two weeks.
