Urgent, compassionate legal support to help you secure the protection and safety you deserve.

Your Safety Comes First

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or family violence, you have the right to feel safe. At On Point Family Law, we provide urgent, sensitive legal support to help you navigate the legal protections available under Queensland law.

We understand the courage it takes to seek help. Our approach is non-judgemental, discreet, and entirely focused on your safety and the safety of your children.

If you are in immediate danger, call 000. For non-urgent support, contact DVConnect on 1800 811 811 (women) or 1800 600 636 (men).

Domestic Violence Protection Orders

A Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVO) is a legal order designed to protect a person from further violence. We can help you understand whether a protection order is appropriate for your situation and guide you through the application process.

  • Applying for a protection order
  • Responding to a protection order application
  • Varying or revoking existing orders
  • Temporary protection orders
  • Urgent applications

Court Representation

Attending court for domestic violence matters can be confronting and stressful. We provide calm, steady representation to ensure your voice is heard and your interests are protected. We will prepare you for what to expect, handle all documentation, and advocate firmly on your behalf.

Safety Planning

Beyond legal orders, we can help you consider the broader steps you may need to take to ensure your safety and the safety of your family. We work alongside support services to ensure a coordinated approach to your protection.

Intersection with Family Law

Domestic violence often intersects with other family law matters such as parenting arrangements and property settlements. We take a holistic view to ensure that protection orders and family law proceedings work together to achieve the best overall outcome.
