Our Approach: Compassionate, Confidential Support
Protections Available
In Queensland, there are a number of protections available to help keep you safe from family and domestic violence. These may include:
Police Protection:
If you are in immediate danger, you should contact the police. The police can provide protection and assist in ensuring your safety until your matter proceeds to court.
Protection Order (Domestic Violence Order):
This is an order issued by the court to prevent further domestically violent behaviour by the person that is being abusive. It can also provide other protections, such as preventing the offender from contacting or approaching you.
Financial Assistance:
You may be eligible for financial support through government programs designed to assist those affected by domestic violence, including access to safe housing options.
At Arrow Law, we will guide you through the process of securing these protections, ensuring that your rights and safety are prioritised.

What can I do if I am experiencing domestic violence?
Not necessarily. Many family law matters can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law processes, which can be less stressful and more cost-effective than court proceedings. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, we are fully equipped to represent you in court to protect your interests.
Do I need to go to court for my family law matter?
Mediation is a process where both parties, with the help of a neutral mediator, discuss and negotiate to reach an agreement on family law issues. It is a valuable tool for resolving disputes amicably without going to court. At Arrow Law, we often recommend mediation as it can be less adversarial and more cost-effective, focusing on achieving mutually agreeable outcomes.
What is mediation, and how can it help my case?
If your ex-partner is not complying with an existing court order or agreement, we can assist in several ways. This may include negotiating to resolve the issue, applying to the court to enforce the order, or seeking a variation if circumstances have changed. We will work with you to determine the best course of action based on your situation.
