Protective action can be taken by obtaining a restraining order, referred to by law as a family violence intervention orders from the relevant court. We can help you in obtaining a restraining order to protect you and your family in the event that you are a victim of domestic violence.

If you are on the receiving end of a family violence intervention order, you need to act fast on sound legal advice. In some instances, intervention orders can be settled simply by making a promise to the Court that you will not commit family violence. In other matters, this may not be a possible outcome and you may need to defend the allegations that have been made against you, especially if they are false and malicious allegations.

Family violence intervention orders can have criminal consequences and can impact the outcome of any concurrent Family Law Court proceedings.

Unfortunately, some people abuse the intervention order system, especially where family law proceedings are running at the same time. It is not uncommon to have one parent make false and malicious allegations against the other in order to obtain an upper hand in family law proceedings. In these circumstances, it is important to defend the allegations given the serious consequences the order may have on your life and family law proceedings.

Our expert advice can help you decide on whether you should apply for an intervention order or how you should respond to an intervention order. It is important that swift action is taken to ensure that the right action is taken.
