Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get an intervention order the same day?
Yes. We regularly obtain urgent interim intervention orders on the same day. Call us immediately on (03) 9957 6899 and we will arrange emergency court attendance.
What is the difference between an FVIO and PSIO?
A Family Violence Intervention Order (FVIO) applies where parties are family members. A Personal Safety Intervention Order (PSIO) applies between non-family members such as neighbours or colleagues.

Breaching an intervention order is a criminal offence carrying up to 2 years imprisonment. Contact us immediately if an order has been breached.
