Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Domestic Violence?
According to the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012, domestic violence is defined as violent behaviour by a person (the defendant) towards another when they have a domestic or family relationship. Domestic violence includes physical or sexual abuse, verbal abuse, emotional or psychological abuse, financial abuse and conduct that is threatening, intimidating, coercive, dominating, or controlling. Please speak to one of our domestic violence lawyers to discuss if your situation comes under domestic violence and how we can help you escape your environment
What is a Domestic Violence Order and What Does it Do?
A Domestic Violence Order (DVO) is a protection order issued by a court that gives the respondent (the person who has committed domestic violence against you) a set of rules they must obey. A DVO is designed to keep you safe by placing your abuser under strict conditions, while inflicting harsh penalties upon them if they break these conditions. A DVO lawyer works with you to achieve a DVO against the respondent to ensure your safety.
Who Can Apply for a Domestic Violence Order?
In order to apply for a protection order and for the behaviour to be considered domestic violence, the violence you have been exposed to must have occurred in any of the following relationships:
- An intimate personal relationship
- A family relationship
- An informal care relationship (for example, one person who is or was depending on another person for help with daily living activities where the person is not a paid carer)
