Family Violence
Family violence can significantly influence the outcomes of parenting disputes and financial settlements. It is not uncommon for parties in parenting matters to be either subject to a Police Protection Order or to have been aggrieved.
Parents subject to a protection order should not be discouraged from applying for time with their children, even if the common perception is the opposite. The court will determine that a child should spend time with each parent, provided it is in the best interests of the child. The court generally determines the best interest of the child is to have a meaningful relationship with both parents as long as the court is satisfied the child is not a risk from either parent.
