Secured savagery orders (AVOs)
AVOs are orders that a court makes to secure individuals.
AVOs secure individuals by requesting a man known as the "respondent"
not to strike, attack, disturb, threaten or stalk the ensured individual for a
particular timeframe.
AVOs can likewise have extra requests. For instance,
requests can be influenced which to forbid the respondent from reaching the
secured individual, going inside a specific separation of the ensured
individual's home or work, and devastating or harming the ensured individual's
property. Read more about AVOs on LawAssist's AVO pages.
AVOs don't give respondents a criminal record.
The litigant is not permitted to keep any guns, or to hold a
guns permit for a long time after the AVO closes, unless the AVO is crossed out
by the court. On the off chance that you are a litigant and have a guns permit,
or any guns, you should quickly surrender them to the police.
An AVO can be enlisted in another state. In the event that
the ensured individual moves to another Australian state or region they can
enroll the AVO with a court in that state or domain. The AVO will then keep on
providing security for them. The litigant does not need to be informed that the
request is enlisted in another state or region.
