We listen without judgement.
What constitutes Domestic Violence in Queensland and the processes that the court must follow is set out in the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012.
|
Aggrieved: If a Domestic Violence Order or Police Protection Notice is made to protect you. |
Respondent: If a Domestic Violence Order or Police Protection Notice is made against you. |
Our Domestic Violence Lawyers in Brisbane understand that there is often a lot of shame or stigma around making or responding to Domestic Violence Orders. We will listen without judgement to provide professional assistance to:
- men as victims,
- people in same sex relationships,
- people facing elder abuse,
- people in disability care arrangements, and
- people from culturally diverse backgrounds.
|
For AggrievedMaking an application for a Domestic Violence Order can be daunting. The respondent has a right to reply and can object to the orders being made, which can then go to trial.
If you need help to draft your application, or need representation at trial, call us today for a free case appraisal. |
|
For RespondentsIf a Domestic Violence Order application has been made against you, there are several options you need to understand. A DV Order against you is not like a criminal conviction, but there may be ramifications to your job that you need to think about.
If you wish to contest an order being made, we can represent you to present alternatives or prepare for trial. |
|
Domestic Violence OffencesBreach of a Domestic Violence Order is a criminal offence, and offenders are liable to be fined and maximum sentence of three years. For further breaches, that sentence can increase to 5 years.
