Where to Turn After Domestic Violence
At Leach Legal we take a firm stance that all forms of domestic violence are unacceptable. Our Perth family law firm is dedicated to helping domestic abuse survivors navigate the often-intimidating Court system after separating from an abusive partner. We act for both men and women who have experienced domestic abuse. An experienced domestic violence lawyer can help protect you and your family by obtaining a FVRO against your ex-partner, as well as working through the steps for a legal separation. What is a VRO? A Family Violence Restraining Order (FVRO) prevents a person (Respondent) from communicating with, being in the presence of, living, or working with another person (the Applicant). FVROs can be issued when:
- The Respondent has committed an act of domestic abuse or threatened to so
- Unless restrained, the Respondent is likely to continue to be abusive
- The Applicant reasonably fears they are in danger of domestic abuse
