DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND PROTECTION ORDERS
Domestic Violence can occur in any sort of relationship, and can be directed towards both spouses/partners and children. Domestic violence can include;
* Wilful Injury: this includes any form of assault, such as hitting, punching or strangling
* Wilful Damage: this includes any damage directed towards your household possessions, your car, or your even your residence
* Intimidation or Harassment: this can include repeated telephone calls or other forms of inappropriate communication, such as persistent watching or stalking
* Indecent Behaviour Without Consent: this includes sexual contact or activity that you have expressly or implicitly made known is unwelcome
If you have experienced any of the above mentioned behaviours, then you are a victim of domestic violence.
At GMH Legal, our expert family lawyers can assist you in obtaining a protection order to prevent any further violence from occurring in the future. Such an order will impose a legal obligation on the offending party to cease and desist committing acts of violence against you at the risk of severe legal sanctions if they fail to do so.
The perpetrator must behave in the manner prescribed in the protection order towards both yourself and anyone else named in the order, which importantly, may include your children. To apply for a Protection Order, the relationship between the parties must come under one of the following categories:
* Married or de facto couples
* Intimate personal relationship (for example, if you have been dating someone on a regular basis for a significant period of time)
* Family relationship
* Informed care relationship
Don’t allow yourself to be subject to adverse treatment at the hands of your partner or anyone else. Our professional and dedicated team of family lawyers have the skill and expertise required to ensure that you are protected from anyone who has harmed you in the past and is threatening to do the same in the future.
