Protection Orders

Domestic and family violence is a serious issue that affects individuals and families in many different ways. It involves an abuse of power, mainly perpetrated by men in an intimate partner relationship or after separating from the relationship. Domestic and family violence extends beyond physical violence and may involve the exploitation of power imbalances and patterns of abuse.

At Buckley Lawyers, we understand the impact of domestic and family violence on individuals and families, and we are committed to providing sensitive and supportive legal services to those affected by it. We work closely with our clients to ensure that their safety and legal rights are protected.

In cases of domestic and family violence, the NSW Police Force is committed to using all lawful means to police it. This includes taking out an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) on behalf of victims and any children living or spending time with the victim, whether by consent or not. They also investigate breaches of ADVOs and develop solutions to managing repeat offenders. At Buckley Lawyers, we can assist you with the process of obtaining an ADVO or navigating any legal issues that arise from domestic and family violence.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic and family violence, it is important to seek help and support. Contact us today to speak with one of our experienced family lawyers and take the first step towards a safer future.
