If you have been charged with a domestic violence related criminal offence, then everything that you need to know is in this section. Each criminal law article contains information relating to:

  • What the law states
  • The maximum penalty you can receive
  • What the police and prosecution must prove
  • Possible defences
  • Which court is likely to hear the matter

There is also information about Domestic Violence, Apprehended Violence Orders / AVO's and Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders in the Family Law Section - specifically under the Domestic Violence & Australian Family Law page.
