如果你曾經遭受家庭暴力，尋求法律建議很重要，以了解法院如何在你的案件中考慮家庭暴力。
家事法庭非常重視家庭暴力。
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.
