AVOs/Domestic Violence

An apprehended violence order is a court order made against you which aims to protect a person in need of protection from violence, harassment, intimidation or stalking
Two types

• Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO): Issued where there is an existing domestic or family relationship between yourself and the person in need of protection
• Apprehended Personal Violence Order (APVO): Issued where there is no domestic or family relationship between the parties

While serving the legitimate purpose of protection, they are often being used for improper reasons
