What is considered domestic violence?

Domestic violence refers to abusive behaviour within a domestic or family relationship, which can be physical, emotional, or psychological. It includes physical assault, threats, sexual violence, stalking, coercive control, and breaches of protection orders.

What are the potential consequences of a domestic violence conviction?

A conviction can lead to a criminal record, potential jail time, court-imposed protection orders, difficulties with child custody, damage to your reputation, and restrictions on employment opportunities.

Can I fight the domestic violence charges against me?

Yes, you have the legal right to challenge the charges. In NSW, several defence options may be available, depending on the details of your case. Our domestic violence lawyers in Hawkesbury carefully analyse witness statements, police reports, and other evidence to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.

Will I have to go to trial for my domestic violence case?

Not every case proceeds to trial. In some situations, negotiating a plea deal or seeking alternatives such as diversion programs may be possible. If a trial is unavoidable, we will build a strong defence and represent you in court to fight for the best possible outcome.
