Family Violence Restraining Orders

A Violence Restraining Order (VRO); is made to stop (or ‘restrain’) a person from committing an ‘act of abuse’ against another person.

VRO vs FVRO?

In July 2017 a new type of restraining order was created called a Family Violence Restraining Order (FVRO).

There are a couple of major differences, the first is that the new the FVRO is used in circumstances where the parties are (or were) in a ‘family relationship’ such as being married; de facto partners, related to each other, or otherwise in an intimate relationship. It does however also include parties that were related by culture or kinship; son; in-law; partners ex-partner; step-relative; aunt or uncle etc.

WHAT'S YOUR SITUATION?

Are you or your children the victim of violence?

  • Has someone issued a VRO on you?
  • Do you need to call the police on your former partner?
  • Are you being blackmailed by your former partner?
  • Are you being harassed by a family member?
