Keep up to date with the latest news regarding Aston Legal Group.
In this Aston Legal Group case, an interim Family Violence Intervention Order had been made following serious allegations. Our client later sought its revocation, explaining that the Order was creating barriers to communication, co-parenting and family relationships.
The matter required more than simply saying that the protected person no longer wanted the Order.
Evidence was presented about the changes that had occurred, including engagement with culturally and religiously appropriate support services, work addressing alcohol use and healthy relationships, positive contact with the children and the absence of breaches.
Police ultimately supported revocation, and the Melbourne Magistrates' Court revoked the Intervention Order.

The weight given to a child's views can depend on factors including their age and maturity, whether their views have been influenced by a parent and the particular circumstances of the case.
Aston Legal Group's case study of Solghi & Danwar [2022] demonstrates how this can work in practice. In that matter, the Court gave significant weight to the children's views, taking into account their maturity, their own experiences and the broader circumstances, including family violence.
The key point is that there is no automatic rule that a child's preference determines the outcome.
The Court's focus remains on the best interests of the child.
