Domestic and personal violence charges demand immediate attention and should not be underestimated. Considering the seriousness of these offences, it is vital to seek legal help if you or someone you care about has encountered such violence or is confronting allegations of the same offence.
We understand the sensitivity of apprehended violence orders (AVOs) and will work relentlessly to protect your legal rights, whether you are the protected person or the defendant in a domestic or personal violence order.
Seeking legal advice can be daunting, but the compassionate team at Movement Legal will guide you every step of the way.
There are two primary types of AVOs:
ADVOs are specifically designed for situations involving violence or threats within domestic relationships. These orders are instrumental in protecting individuals who are in close relationships such as partners, family members, or people living together, where domestic violence may occur.
In contrast, APVOs come into play when there is a need for protection even without a domestic relationship. They are sought in situations where conflicts, harassment, or threats involve individuals who may not have an intimate relationship but still require legal protection.
When dealing with an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), it is essential to have a trusted representative with competent legal expertise on your side.
