Safety first
An FVIO can affect parenting time, work and finances. We prioritise safety, clear steps and steady advocacy.
Family Violence Intervention Orders can set conditions about contact, residence and behaviour to protect safety. Evidence may include statements, messages, photos or reports; interim orders can be made urgently. We’ll help you feel prepared, not alone.
FVIOs can interact with parenting orders; breaches have criminal consequences; safe communications and clear evidence help; support services and safety planning matter. We’ll outline these options for you.
Urgent safety
If risk is identified, we move quickly for interim orders and practical safeguards.
Evidence & hearing
We help you prepare clear affidavits and supporting material; we negotiate conditions where suitable or contest where necessary — with careful attention to your wellbeing.
After orders
We explain conditions, variation/revocation options, and how FVIOs interact with parenting arrangements, so nothing feels unclear.
• A simple timeline of incidents; screenshots or photos; medical/police notes if any.
• Details of children’s routines and any current orders.
• Known triggers or safety concerns around handovers/contact.
Breaches are criminal. Keep communications safe and lawful, avoid social media about the matter, and seek advice before any contact with involved persons. We’ll be here as your steady point of contact.
It can include physical, emotional, psychological, financial and controlling behaviours, as well as threats or property damage.
Courts can make interim orders urgently if risk is identified. We can prepare and file quickly with supporting material.
Parenting arrangements must account for safety and any FVIO conditions; orders may limit contact or specify safe handover.
Breaches are criminal offences and should be reported to police. Penalties can include fines and imprisonment.
Statements, messages, photos, medical notes and witness accounts can help. Safety is the priority; we guide you on what to bring.
They can be. Parties may apply to vary/revoke orders if circumstances change; the court reassesses risk and need.
We assist with evidence and submissions. The court tests credibility and risk; legal advice is important to protect your interests.
If your situation feels uncertain, you don't have to navigate it alone. We take the time to understand your goals, explain the options in plain language, and help you move forward with confidence.
