What is Domestic Violence and how it effects your family law matter?​​

 

Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviour in a relationship used to obtain or carry on control or power by one partner over the other. 

​

When dealing with parenting issues, the Family Court provides greater weight to the need to protect the children from physical and psychological harm over the children having a meaningful relationship with both parents. 

​

If you have or are experiencing domestic or family violence, it is important that you make sure both you and your children are safe. Speak with an experienced domestic violence lawyer at Elbatti Legal for more information and advice.
