Legal Representation for IVO Applicants & Respondents | $1,300 (inc. GST) per Appearance
An Intervention Order (IVO) is a Victorian Court order designed to protect individuals from violence, harassment, or threatening behaviour. Whether you need to apply for an Intervention Order or are responding to an application, understanding the legal process is crucial for achieving the best outcome.
Victorian Intervention Orders
Victorian Intervention Orders fall into two main categories:
Family Violence Intervention Orders (FVIO)
Family Violence Intervention Orders protect individuals from family members, partners, ex-partners, or anyone they’ve had an intimate relationship with. Family violence orders address domestic violence situations and can include protection from physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or psychological abuse.
Personal Safety Intervention Orders (PSIO)
Personal Safety Intervention Orders provide protection from non-family members such as neighbours, colleagues, acquaintances, or strangers who are engaging in harassment, stalking, or threatening behaviour.
Both types of Intervention Order Victoria proceedings require careful legal preparation, whether you’re seeking protection or defending against allegations. The Court process involves interim orders, evidence gathering, and final hearings that can significantly impact your safety, freedom, and future.
