Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence is defined in the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 1989 as willful injury, willful damage to property, intimidation or harassment, indecent behaviour or a threat to commit any of these acts. The parties must be in a spousal, intimate personal, family or informal care relationship. This includes de facto and same sex relationships.

You can make application for a protection order in your local Magistrates Court.

We can assist you to apply for a Protection Order or to apply to revoke or vary an existing Order. We can also assist you to defend these applications.

 

Some useful contact points for domestic violence issues are:

 

Queensland Courts www.courts.qld.gov with links to forms and other sites
