Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to go to court for this matter?
Domestic violence matters can involve court proceedings, particularly if orders are contested, charges are laid, or the situation escalates beyond initial intervention. Whether your case will require a court appearance depends on several factors, including the nature of the allegations, your location in NSW, how you respond to any charges, and the complexity of the circumstances involved. A lawyer can advise whether court involvement is required and which court or tribunal applies to your situation.
