Protection through an Intervention Order

Burrell Family Law understands the gravity of seeking protection through an Intervention Order (IVO), a legal directive issued by the Magistrates Court. This order serves as a crucial tool in safeguarding individuals and their families from the threat of violence or any situation that instils fear for their safety.

When an IVO is issued within the context of a family law dispute, it’s essential to grasp certain nuances. Specifically, an interim IVO that restricts a parent from accessing their children carries an exception. This exception allows the parent to have contact with their children “by written agreement.” This provision acknowledges the importance of maintaining parental relationships even in the presence of protective orders.

Moreover, it’s crucial to recognize that if legal proceedings are initiated in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for parenting orders, the Court’s directives supersede those of the IVO, especially concerning matters related to spending time with children. This ensures that the best interests of the children remain paramount, and that parental access is determined in alignment with the Court’s decision-making process.
