Can Quillio support NSW apprehended violence order matters?
Yes. I support NSW Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) and Apprehended Personal Violence Order (APVO) matters under the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 (NSW). I draft applications, response material, variation and revocation applications, and prepare submissions on the extent and duration of orders.
Applications
For police-initiated AVOs, I focus on the defence response and cross-examination of the PINOP. For privately-initiated matters, I draft the application and the supporting statement. Every AVO needs a specific apprehension of future violence, intimidation or stalking — general concerns are insufficient.
Conditions and mandatory orders
All AVOs include the mandatory orders (section 36). Additional conditions are fact-specific — I draft conditions tailored to the circumstances rather than using boilerplate. Conditions that interfere with work, family contact, or shared property need careful drafting.
Consent without admissions
Most AVO matters resolve by consent without admissions. I prepare the terms, draft the accompanying undertaking if needed, and make sure the client understands the consequences (firearms, future employment checks, breach exposure).
Common issues
- Consent AVOs still have consequences — make sure the client understands
- Criminal proceedings linked to the AVO need coordinated strategy
- Family law proceedings can intersect — check the consistency of orders
