Apprehended Violence Orders
(AVOs and ADVOs)
 

Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs) — including Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs) — are serious legal measures designed to prevent threats, intimidation, stalking, harassment, or physical violence. These orders can have far-reaching legal and personal consequences, including restrictions on movement, contact with others, firearm ownership, and parenting arrangements.

​

At Marcus Legal, we provide trusted legal advice and court representation for both applicants and respondents in AVO and ADVO proceedings under the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 (NSW).

​

We assist with:

• Preparing and responding to AVO and ADVO applications

• Representation at interim and final hearings

• Negotiating undertakings, consent orders or variations

• Allegations involving domestic and family violence

• Defending or prosecuting breaches of AVOs

• Advice on the impact of AVOs on employment, parenting orders and firearm licences

​

We understand the emotional and reputational sensitivity of these matters. Whether you're seeking protection or defending against allegations, we handle each case with discretion, empathy, and strategic focus.

​

Let Marcus Legal guide you through the process and help you make informed decisions to protect your rights and future.
