Domestic Violence and Intervention Order Lawyer Noble Park
Domestic violence can have a significant impact on family law matters, especially when it comes to parenting arrangements or access to shared property. At Just Family Law, our domestic violence lawyers support clients in Noble Park with strong legal representation, protective strategies, and practical guidance. Victorian law, as set by Parliament, acknowledges that violence is most commonly committed by men against women. In our discussion below, we apologise if the somewhat sexist language we use causes offence, we recognise that every situation has two sides, and our duty is to advocate for our client’s position with care and objectivity.
We commonly assist in intervention order matters that affect parenting time or where a shared home becomes inaccessible to one party. Whether you are seeking protection or responding to an application, our goal is to help you navigate this process clearly and with long-term outcomes in mind. There are three key ways we support clients dealing with domestic violence issues in family law:
- Applying for or defending against intervention orders (also called IVOs, AVOs, or personal safety notices)
- Arguing that family violence has influenced property settlement outcomes
- Ensuring parenting orders reflect concerns about safety and the best interests of the children
Our intervention order lawyers in Noble Park can help you determine whether an urgent, protective order is necessary or if a more flexible solution would be better suited. We also assist clients in challenging orders that are unfairly restrictive or do not reflect the full situation.
Once separation has occurred, our broader legal strategy involves assessing the likelihood of future violence or the risk of allegations, then shifting focus to the bigger picture: reaching a fair property settlement and suitable parenting arrangements. In most cases, we aim to move quickly through Magistrates Court proceedings so clients can focus on more permanent family law outcomes.
When we act for mothers, we seek orders that provide safety while ensuring control over housing and parenting decisions. When acting for fathers who have been restricted from seeing their children due to an intervention order, we work to finalise IVO matters and move the case to the Family Court or Federal Circuit Court, where decisions are guided by the best interests of the child.
What should I do now?
If you have received an intervention order or are considering applying for one, it is important to:
- Read and understand all the conditions carefully
- Follow the terms strictly
- Attend court as required
- Seek legal advice before your first (and ideally only) court appearance

Our circumstances in engaging JFL were due to the sudden and tragic passing of my sister. Sally assisted our family through complex legal proceedings as we sought full parental responsibilities for her three children, my nieces and nephew.
Sally was able to shift from holding my hand and passing tissues, to providing practical solutions, advice and guidance on how best to navigate the legal system and achieve what was in the best interest of the kids.
Thank you Sally, we will never be able to express how much you did for us and how your counsel and friendship helped us navigate an incredibly difficult time.
No hesitation at all in recommending Sally, and the JFL team.
