Orders for Intervention

 A Family Violence Intervention Order Lawyer in Melbourne, is a court order that criminalizes family violence against another individual.

A Family Violence Intervention Order stops the perpetrator of family violence from committing any more acts of family violence, but it does not result in a criminal record for them. If they do, it might turn into a crime.

Issuing an Intervention Decree

It is necessary to apply for an Specialist Criminal Lawyer in Melbourne initially. The Magistrates' Court will then hold a subsequent hearing to decide whether or not to issue an Intervention Order.

There are two methods to apply for an intervention order:

Self-Initiated Intervention Order: An individual may apply in person to the Magistrates' Court by filling out an application and submitting it. 

Police-Initiated Safety Notice: If Victoria Police believe that a person or child is at risk of domestic abuse, they may also apply for an Intervention Order on that person's or child's behalf. (If you are worried about your child's safety or your own, you can go to your neighborhood police station and ask for help.)

The family member who has been the target of allegations will receive service of an application for an intervention order or interim intervention order once it has been filed ("the Respondent"). On a designated court date, the Respondent will be allowed to address the order's creation.

It's crucial to remember that you can apply for an interim intervention order on the same day as your submission if you need the protection of an intervention order right away.
