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.
