An Intervention Order (IVO) is a legal order made by a Magistrate that restricts a person’s actions towards another. If you are the applicant, the order prevents someone from certain behaviours toward you. If you are the respondent, it restricts what you can do in relation to the protected person. These restrictions can include prohibitions on contact or communication, family violence, damaging property, and publishing information online.

Intervention Order applications may be resolved by consent if both parties agree, or they may proceed to a contested hearing where evidence is presented. At Markotich Lawyers, we provide experienced representation whether you are applying for an IVO or responding to one. Our team will guide you through the process, protect your rights, and work to achieve the best possible outcome.
