Domestic violence application
If you’re experiencing domestic violence, you can apply for a domestic violence order (DVO) or a temporary protection order until a full order is finalised under the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act. A DVO sets out conditions that must be obeyed by the person who has committed the violence against you (‘the respondent’) and if breached can become a criminal matter.
peace & good behavior application
If you have a dispute with someone who isn’t considered a respondent under the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act, you may be able to apply for a peace and good behaviour order under the Peace and Good Behaviour Act to protect your right to peace and quiet, undisturbed by threats to your wellbeing or your quality of life.
Defending an allegation
There are many reasons why some people choose to wield false or exaggerated domestic violence allegations. Whatever the reason, a false domestic violence allegation can have a far-reaching impact on the lives of people who are accused. They could face long-term incarceration, loss of child custody, unemployment, loss of assets, and many other challenges. This is why it is important to be proactive when it comes to defending yourself against unwarranted domestic violence claims.
vary an order
If circumstances change after a domestic violence order is made, either party can apply to a Magistrates Court to vary the conditions of an order including the orders operational period. For example, you may wish to apply to extend the operational period if your order is due to expire. Another common situation is when the police have applied for an order on your behalf but you are not happy with the conditions put in place, after a time you can apply to a Magistrates Court to vary those conditions.
