Family Violence Intervention Orders (FVIOs) are serious court orders made in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria. They can restrict where you go, who you contact, and in some cases affect your work, family relationships, and criminal record if breached.

    Assessing the Allegations

    Anaki Lawyers carefully reviews all material, including:

    • Whether allegations are supported by evidence
    • Whether communications have been taken out of context
    • Whether there is a pattern of behaviour or isolated incident
    • Whether police reports are accurate and complete
    • Whether the order conditions are necessary or excessive

    We assess whether the application can be defended or negotiated.

    Defending or Negotiating the Order

    Depending on the situation, Anaki Lawyers may:

    • Oppose the making of a final intervention order
    • Negotiate reduced or practical conditions
    • Seek variation of overly restrictive terms
    • Assist in cross-orders where allegations are disputed

    Our focus is on achieving outcomes that protect your rights while addressing court concerns.
