It is an application for a DVPO not a breach of one.

 

I am now a tad confused... if it is my choice, with my list it is a No!

Is it breach of the DVPO? If so can get up to 28 days custody so yes to deal with it.

If it is for application to obtain the order, then up to you, you don’t have to, but I probably would if not busy.
