June met with our family violence duty lawyer at the Moorabbin Justice Centre and sought to extend her final Family Violence Intervention Order (FVIO), which had already been in place for 2 years to protect her from her former partner, Mark.
Mark has subjected June to significant family violence, including imprisoning her, which had incredible lasting effects.
Our duty lawyer took instructions, negotiated and also represented June in Court. They managed to successfully obtain an indefinite FVIO for June (that is, an order without an expiry date). June was very grateful to our duty lawyer service for obtaining lasting protection for her so she can heal and move forward in her life.
