Understanding Domestic Violence Laws in Australia
Domestic violence and family violence crimes relate to any behaviour that is violent, threatening or controlling towards someone within a family unit, household, partner, or even a family member that does not live with you.
In NSW, domestic violence laws are covered under the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) and the Crimes (Domestic And Personal Violence) Act 2007. Penalties that relate to domestic violence offences can be found in various parts of these Act’s and form a framework for how domestic violence crimes are prosecuted and punished under the law in New South Wales.
Domestic violence is typically associated with spousal violence; however, it is important to note that domestic violence can include anyone in a past or present intimate relationship, partners, children, family, and even friends. If you are charged with a crime that is deemed to be domestic violence, it’s important to understand the charges that have been levelled and how these charges are viewed in-line with Australia’s domestic violence laws.
If you have been accused or charged with a domestic violence offence, or you are seeking help with domestic violence, it is important to understand the legal recourse options that are available. Our domestic violence lawyers in Sydney will work with you to understand the facts of your case, your rights and obligations, and provide legal guidance and representation that protects your rights.
