Getting a protection order

    What information/evidence must an applicant provide to obtain a protection order?

    Is there any basis for an applicant being charged for giving a false statement to obtain an order by deception?

    Apologies if this is considered to be seeking legal advice, just trying to get some clarification for a friend who is unfortunately a respondent in this situation. It seems like an awful abuse that an applicant can be granted an order without evidence of any wrongdoing and a parent is left in a situation that they cannot contact their children for weeks.

    If its a female getting the protection order,she can pretty much make up anything she likes and the bizarre excuse for a justice system takes everything she says as fact.She can block the fathers access for extremely long periods by adjourning and adjourning.

    If your friend is a male hes about to find out how this country really works.

    - Turn up at your local District Court office and make your accusation.

    - Address of the accused.

    - Proof of your identity.

    Protection order is granted if the court thinks there are reasonable grounds to believe one's safety/welfare is at risk.


    And yes, you can be charged for giving any false details.

    A very rare occurrence in this country unfortunately.
