Domestic Violence Incidences
If an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) or Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) been placed on you, you will need to consider whether you wish to contest or accept it. It should be kept in mind that you can consent to an order, but without an admission basis. This essentially means that you dispute the facts that have led to the AVO or ADVO, but will submit to the order anyway. However, this can be used against you later.
If you wish to challenge the order, you’ll need to seek out the services of a lawyer so that an affidavit (statement of evidence) can be given to the police and, eventually, the court. The alleged victim will also be required to submit an affidavit, and then a hearing will be arranged. Our Taree lawyers can help you throughout every phase of this process.
In the event that you feel that you have been misrepresented in a previous hearing, and you wish to have a new one arranged, our lawyers may be able to assist. Get in touch with us today.
