FAQs about apprehended violence orders
An Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) is a Court order, put in place by Police initially, that aims to protect a person from another person that causes them to fear for their safety. These can be issued in favour of not only family members or members of your household, but others as well.
An AVO can seek to protect a person from:
- Violence or threats of violence
- Stalking
- Intimidation
- Harassment
- Property damage or threatened damage
There are many types of orders that can be put in place. Sometimes, these can include not contacting someone unless the contact is through a lawyer, and in extreme cases, having to stay away from your own home.
If you’ve been served with an application for an apprehended violence order (AVO) you’ll be required to attend court at the time and date specified on the application.
You can ask for an adjournment, or postponement of your court hearing, to give yourself time to seek legal counsel from an AVO lawyer.
The typical AVO process involves providing a signed statement to the Police who will then serve the application to the person you wish to take the AVO out against. However, the Police may refuse to issue an AVO. If the Police can’t or won’t provide you with an AVO, we’re here to help. At Green & Associates Solicitors, we can obtain a private AVO on your behalf.
The more evidence you can supply the better when making an AVO application. You’ll need the basic personal information of the person you’re taking the AVO out against, such as their full name, address, date of birth and their relationship to you. You’ll also need to provide as much evidence of their abuse or intimidation as possible, such as photographs, details of incidents, doctor’s reports as well as information about the defendant’s access to firearms, their mental health, any drug use and evidence of any crimes they’ve committed against you, such as property damage or assault.
