In recent years there has been a noticeable rise in false AVO
claims being made to Police as well as taken out privately.
It will come as no surprise that having an apprehended violence
order taken out against will cause significant stress to you and
your loved ones.
The conditions associated with an AVO can impose restrictions on
your behaviour. This can be particularly difficult to deal with,
especially if it is unjustified.
What is an AVO?
An AVO is an apprehended violence order. It is a Court order
imposed on a person for the protection of another person (or
persons).
There are some mandatory conditions that come with an AVO, and
then there are other optional conditions. These conditions restrict
the behaviour of the person on whom the AVO is imposed.
