家庭内及び家族間の暴力を経験した場合、裁判所が事件においてどのように家庭内及び家族間の暴力を考慮するかについて、法的助言を受けることが重要です。
家庭裁判所は、家庭内及び家族間の暴力を非常に重く受け止めています。
When making Parenting Orders, the court considers what is in your child’s best interests by considering a number of factors. Protecting your child from harm including from domestic and family violence is the main thing the court considers.
The court also considers whether there has been any domestic and family violence and any Domestic Violence Orders, as well as other factors. For more information, see how does the court make decisions about children? Every case is different, so it’s important to get legal advice about your situation.
Under family law, ‘family violence’ means when one person uses violent, threatening or other behaviour to pressure or control a family member, or that causes them to be fearful.
Some examples of family violence are listed below. However, this is not a complete list. If something isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not family violence.
