Domestic violence is behaviour by one person towards another that is physically, sexually, emotionally, psychologically or economically abusive. This also includes behaviour which is threatening, coercive or controls or dominates the other person.
You may apply for a domestic violence order if you are in a ‘relevant relationship’, meaning a family relationship, intimate relationship (including former partners), or an informal care relationship.

Sometimes, particularly in contentious custody battles, one parent may apply for a baseless domestic violence order against the other in the hopes of swaying the outcome of the family law matter. In these circumstances a party is using a DVO as a weapon, not a shield. If you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, we can help. While DVO’s are a civil matter, breaching a DVO is a criminal offence
