Domestic violence orders include temporary protection orders and final protection orders. While the orders themselves are not criminal in nature, breaches are a criminal offence and are treated very seriously by the courts.
You might be surprised at what can constitute a breach. We are often asked to assist clients with technical and inadvertent breaches, and no matter how technical or innocent a breach may appear, police can still lay a charge.
Because of our criminal law experience, we are well equipped to act whether you are a respondent or an aggrieved person, and we regularly assist and advise other lawyers, particularly family lawyers, in relation to breach allegations.
We provide representation for either the aggrieved or the respondent at any stage of the application, and we liaise with police on behalf of victims of breach offences.
