What Is An Emotional Abuse AVO?

A court issues an apprehended Violence Order (AVO) for emotional abuse to protect a person from a confirmed act of threat or violence from another person in the form of emotional abuse.

In accordance with the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 (NSW), an AVO is sometimes referred to as a Restraining Order, a legal instrument that prohibits a person from engaging in specific conduct towards another.

What Are the Many Forms of Emotional Abuse?

Any of the following may constitute emotional abuse:

Yelling and name-calling can also be considered verbal abuse.
Continuous Criticism and Rejection: Constantly underestimating someone’s actions, appearance, and opinions.
Gaslighting: The abuser twists the truth in an attempt to confuse the victim and make them doubt their own judgment.
Social Abuse: Isolating or restricting a person’s contact with friends and relatives. Your pictures might also be shared without your approval, and your activities are constantly tracked wherever you go, resulting in an attempt to damage your other relationships or reputation.
Threats and Intimidation: Constantly making the other person feel unsafe.
Bullying and Humiliation: Putting down or embarrassing the other person publicly.
Financial Abuse: Controlling a person’s finances by stopping them from working.

What Does An Emotional Abuse AVO Do?

An Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) restricts the abusive individual’s conduct.

The court may impose further requirements, such as compelling the abuser to vacate your residence or stay away from you.

It is illegal for them to violate an order once it has been granted, and you should inform the police if they do so.

How To Defend A Protective Order Against Emotional Abuse

A court hearing will be scheduled if you opt to defend an AVO for emotional abuse.

The Applicant will argue their case before the court in an effort to get a final AVO.

You must provide evidence to support your argument.

In addition, your AVO lawyers will be there to cross-examine the PINOP.

After considering the evidence, the court will either:

Create a Final Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) or dismiss the AVO with no orders.

Another alternative would be to attempt to get the AVO dismissed before the hearing.

This can be accomplished by talking with the police or writing them a letter requesting that the charges be dropped.

AVO Lawyers Manly has extensive expertise with this, so contact our experts now.

Can You Live With Someone Who Has An AVO?

Can you cohabit with someone who has an AVO?

The defendant does not necessary have to leave the residence when an AVO is issued against them.

To safeguard the PINOP, a court may impose Additional Orders it considers “necessary or desirable” on the offender.

Further orders prohibit the defendant from residing with the protected person or at a specified location.

They are part of the AVO conditions.

A court may issue this order regardless of whether or not the defendant owns the marital residence or is a lessee.

Not sure about your current situation with the defendant? Consult AVO Lawyers Manly today, so you can do things the legal way.

Can I Contact The Individual Against Whom I Have An AVO?

Can I contact the individual against whom I have an AVO? Generally speaking, the answer is yes.

The orders in an AVO are directed against the defendant, not the victim.

But, the defendant may be prohibited from communicating with you, so if you contact them, you may be aiding them in violating the avo.

That boils down to the avo requirements specified in the order.

Recall that an AVO has both obligatory and extra criteria.

Talking to the individual against whom you have an AVO is separate from the required requirements.

As a protected person, you cannot be penalised for violating an AVO since the AVO is not a court order.

However, note that continually violating your AVO has legal consequences and may result in police or judicial intervention.

Consult AVO Lawyers Manly if you want to know more about the limitations of your contact with a defendant.

Laila put in the effort to get to know me and my position, set out a strategy to achieve a result with the best outcome for me at the least legal costs possible, her determination and focus on this goal was the reason it was achieved. I never once felt I was not being kept up to date, i was always treated with respect in a courteous manner and Laila made sure I had a full understanding of all the correspondence between the two parties, she created a environment where I felt completely comfortable asking any questions I had or providing her with sensitive information to assist her understanding and to strengthen our case I can highly recommend JFL and in particular Laila, she is an excellent lawyer that acted with integrity and professionalism at all times, in my opinion she is a credit to her profession and I still don’t know how she managed to get the result she did, however if you are in need of a family law legal person to represent you, you couldn’t go past this firm, my only regret is that I didn’t engage JFL from day one of my separation, it would of saved a lot of frustration and time.
