If you are suffering from domestic or family violence, which includes physical, emotional, psychological, or financial abuse, you have the right to seek urgent protection from the court.
At Bell & Senior Lawyers, we understand how daunting the process is. We offer compassionate, swift, and highly protective legal representation to secure a Domestic Violence Order (DVO).
The Application Process
- Drafting the Application: A DVO application relies heavily on your sworn affidavit. We ensure every incident of abuse is properly documented to establish that the violence occurred and that an order is ’necessary and desirable’ to protect you.
- Temporary Protection Orders: If you are in immediate danger, we can apply for an urgent, ex-parte (without the other person present) Temporary Protection Order on the very first day we go to court.
- Naming Children and Relatives: We ensure your children, family members, and associates are specifically named on the order, extending the legal protection to them.
We manage the court appearances so you do not have to directly face the respondent unnecessarily. Contact us immediately to secure your safety.
