19.01.2022 Today at 4.40pm on JOY 94.9 Drive radio, Nicholes Family Lawyers Partner, Bec Dahl, will discuss Family Violence and IVOs (Intervention Orders) during COVID-19. In Australia the economic stressors created by the pandemic and consequent lockdown have exacerbated family violence cases. Today, Bec will discuss the options available to those who experience family violence, when she speaks with presenters Dee and Warren. If you know someone who is experiencing family violence, yo...u can contact the police and ask that they attend your property to take out a Safety Notice. This notice will in essence act as an Intervention Order for a short period of time until you are able to obtain an Order from the Court. Alternatively, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 9670 4122. We can make arrangements to complete an Application for an Intervention Order on your behalf and otherwise provide advice about the impact of child abuse and family violence in family law matters.
