What About My Kids?

If children see, hear, or are present during family violence, the law considers them affected. This includes witnessing police at home, property damage, or a parent’s injuries.

Children and intervention orders

Children

Children will be included on intervention orders if they have been affected by family violence. Affected means that the children have seen or heard violence.

Parenting Orders

The court can change existing family law orders, meaning parenting arrangements may be temporarily restricted until a family violence intervention.

Order Comparison

An intervention order is different from a parenting order, and it can affect parenting arrangements until the family violence intervention order is changed or lifted by the court.

What Are My Options?

In this case, you are called the respondent and the person who wants you to stop is called the applicant, or protected person.

Received an FVIO or PSIO?

If your ex partner has applied for one, you will have received a copy of the application, a summons to appear in court and maybe interim orders telling you what you can and cannot do in the meantime, like talk to them, ask a friend to talk to them, or even to give your children gifts.

Contest the Intervention Order Application

You have the right to contest the application for an Intervention Order if you believe the claims made against you are unfounded. Contesting the order involves presenting your case in court, where both parties can provide evidence and witness testimony. If you choose to contest, it’s advisable to seek legal representation to help navigate the legal proceedings and advocate on your behalf, and be aware that this will involve several court hearings.
You can agree to an Order, if you can live with the conditions set out in the Order, without admitting any accusations. The Court will issue the order without determining if you are guilty or not.
You can request to withdraw your application for an Intervention Order at any time before the final hearing. The other party might withdraw it. This means you no longer wish to proceed with the legal process, and the court will dismiss the application. ​
The other party might accept you giving an Undertaking. An Undertaking is written promise to act in a certain way. This option is more advantageous because breaking an undertaking will not result in criminal liability, unless you commit an offence.
If your circumstances change or if you find the conditions of the current Intervention Order too restrictive, you can apply to vary (change) the order. This involves making a request to the court to modify the terms of the order to better suit your current situation. You will need to provide evidence to support why the variation is necessary, and the court will consider your request before making a decision.​
If you believe that the Intervention Order is no longer necessary, you may be able to apply to revoke (cancel) the order. This means you are asking the court to completely remove the order. To succeed in revoking an order, you will need to demonstrate that the circumstances which led to the order being issued have significantly changed or no longer exist. The court will evaluate your application and any evidence provided before deciding whether to revoke the order.
