Whether you are seeking to apply for a Domestic Violence Order from the Court as an aggrieved party or you are opposing a Domestic Violence Application, we are able to assist you.
We understand that, sadly, domestic violence is an issue which occurs in family law matters. Domestic violence behaviour has a wide definition and includes physical, sexual, emotional or economic abuse and threatening, coercive or controlling conduct.
We are able to assist you with this sensitive issue, and advise you as to how it may affect your property settlement or children’s matter.
Unlike Family Law, Domestic Violence is governed by state legislation. Domestic Violence Applications are dealt with in the local Magistrates Court and we can represent you at these hearings.
