Escape domestic violence and create a safe path forward
Here’s how Baldwins Lawyers can help you eliminate the confusion and get you real protection, fast.
Domestic Violence
Orders (DVO)
This is a legally binding order made by a state court to protect you and your children from future acts of domestic violence. It sets out specific rules that the abusive person must follow, and breaching them is a criminal offence.
Temporary Protection Orders
This is an urgent, short-term order that provides immediate legal protection until a full hearing for a final Domestic Violence Order can be held. It is designed to keep you safe in the period between applying for a DVO and the court making a final decision.
Parenting Orders
These are legally enforceable orders from the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia that set out the parenting arrangements for your children. In domestic violence cases, they prioritise your children's safety by determining who the child lives with and how they spend time with the other parent.

“The Lawyers here have worked above and beyond my expectations. I'm so very grateful for all their help and support.”
Sarah Eaton
“Highly recommend Baldwin's Lawyers and especially Martina Hall. She made the recent experience smooth and very easy to go to her with any concerns. Anything we were unsure of, she was able to assist and break it down so we understood what was asked and what procedure was next. The real estate agent we dealt with even said she was very knowledgeable and professional and had nothing but great words about her. Will use her again in the future!!!”
