(1)
In or after making a protection order, the court may (subject to subsections (2) and (3)) direct that the order also apply for the benefit of either or both of the following:
a particular child of the applicant who, because the child does not ordinarily or periodically reside with the applicant, is not a child of the applicant’s family (as defined in section 8):
any particular person with whom the applicant has a family relationship, and who is not a child of the kind specified in paragraph (a).
(2)
No direction may be made under subsection (1)(a) (in respect of a child of the applicant who is not a child of the applicant’s family) unless the court is satisfied that the making of the direction is necessary for the protection of the child.
(3)
No direction may be made under subsection (1)(b) (in respect of a person who is not a child of the kind specified in subsection (1)(a)) unless the court is satisfied that—
the respondent is engaging, or has engaged, in behaviour that, if the respondent and the person were or, as the case may be, had been in a family relationship, would amount to family violence against the person; and
the respondent’s behaviour towards the person is due, in whole or in part, to the applicant’s family relationship with the person; and
the making of a direction under this section is necessary for the protection of the person; and
if practicable, the person consents to the direction being made.
(4)
Sections 80 to 83 apply, with the necessary modifications, to an application for a direction under subsection (1)(a) or (b) of this section.
