Our family law specialists are experienced in handling cases involving domestic violence. We understand the complexities and sensitivities of these situations, and we are committed to providing practical, effective legal advice.
The presence of family violence will affect various aspects of your case, including child custody arrangements, property settlements, and protection orders. If financial abuse is involved, it can also influence how property is divided in a separation. We work with clients to assess risks, create safety plans where necessary, and ensure that your legal rights are upheld.
Whether you can have contact with your children under an AVO will depend on the specific conditions of the order and the arrangements made for your children’s safety. If an AVO is in place, we can help you navigate the complexities of family law to ensure that any contact with children is safe and in their best interests.
Our experienced family law team will guide you through any legal matters involving domestic violence, including how to manage custody arrangements when an AVO is involved.
