Obtaining a Domestic Violence Order in Brisbane
The victims of domestic violence can apply for a Domestic Violence Order (DVO). A DVO is a civil order that prevents another person from being violent towards you. This includes physical, mental, emotional, economical and sexual abuse, as well as threats and coercion.
DVOs can protect you, your children, other family members, and people in informal care relationships. The domestic violence lawyers on our Brisbane team can file an application for a Domestic Violence Order on your behalf.
We understand that it can be frightening to take the first step in domestic violence situations. But a DVO is an excellent way to ensure you and your children remain safe. If the order is granted, it provides protection against an abuser, who may face criminal charges if they breach the conditions of the order.
Filing an application for a DVO can be a confronting experience. We understand what you’re going through, and our team will make sure the situation is as safe and stress-free as possible.
Contact our team at any time for a confidential conversation about domestic violence. Call 000 if you are in immediate danger.
Varying a Domestic Violence Order
FP Lawyers can provide advice and representation if you would like to vary the conditions of an existing Domestic Violence Order.
All DVOs provide conditions that prevent the Respondent from behaving in certain ways. The conditions of your DVO will depend on your circumstances. They may include things like:
- Restrictions on contact between you and the Respondent
- Restricting whether the Respondent can be in certain areas, such as close to your home or workplace
- Restricting whether the Respondent can be near your children, or attend their schools
It’s possible to vary the conditions of a DVO once the order has been granted. Our Brisbane domestic violence lawyers can provide advice and representation if you would like to alter an existing order.
We’ll discuss the matter with you, determine what you would like to change, and provide advice on your options.
Responding to a Domestic Violence Order
Every DVO names an individual as the Respondent. The Respondent is required to abide by the conditions of the order. It’s a criminal offence to violate the conditions of a DVO.
You have several options if you are named as the Respondent in a DVO. You can choose to:
- Negotiate with the Aggrieved party
- Consent to the order
- Oppose or object to the order
Our domestic violence lawyers can interpret the order and explain your options. You should speak to our team before responding to the order, as you may be charged with criminal offences for breaching its conditions.
Depending on what you’d like to do, we can provide advice, represent you in negotiations and ensure you meet your obligations.
Breaching a DVO carries criminal penalties, including up to 3 years imprisonment. Speak with our Brisbane domestic violence orders immediately if you are named as the Respondent in a DVO.
