What is family violence?If you are experiencing family violence and in immediate danger, please call 000. In Victoria, the Family Violence Protection Act 2008(Vic) (“FVPA”) governs family violence and intervention orders. Family violence includes behaviour by a person towards a family member (the affected family member) that is:
Physically or sexually abusive
Emotionally or psychologically abusive
Economically abusive
Threatening or coercive
Any other behaviour that controls or dominates the family member and causes them to fear for their safety or wellbeing or for the safety or wellbeing of another person.
Family violence also includes behaviour by a person that causes a child to hear, witness or be exposed to the effects of family violence. The behaviour does not have to be a criminal offence to be family violence. Please get in touch with our Melbourne domestic violence and family violence lawyers for further assistance in this area.What are the types of family violence?The Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (“FLA”) governs family violence in family law proceedings in the Commonwealth Courts. Family violence is defined as violent, threatening, harmful behaviour by a person that coerces or controls a member (or members) of the person's family (the family member) or causes the family member to be fearful. Physical or sexual abuse This can include assault or causing personal injury to a family member, sexually assaulting a family member, engaging in sexually coercive behaviour or threatening such behaviour. Emotional or psychological abuse Emotional or psychological abuse means behaviour by a person towards another person that torments, intimidates, harasses or is offensive to the other person. This can include repeated derogatory taunts, preventing a person from making or keeping connections with the person's family, friends or culture, and threatening to commit suicide or self-harm with the intention of intimidating a family member or threatening the death or injury of another person. Economic abuse Economic abuse is behaviour that is coercive, deceptive and unreasonably controls another person without that person's consent in a way that undermines that person's economic or financial autonomy or withholds or threatens to withhold financial support necessary for reasonable living expenses. This can include preventing a person from having access to joint financial assets for the purposes of meeting normal household expenses, disposing of property owned by a person or owned jointly with a person against the person's wishes and without lawful excuse, and coercing a person to relinquish control over assets and income. Coercion or control, coercive control fear for safety Any behaviour that coerces, controls or causes the family member to be fearful for their safety or wellbeing or for the safety or wellbeing of another person is family violence. Examples include intentionally harming or threatening to harm an animal, damaging or threatening to damage property, preventing the family member from keeping connections with friends or family, denying their liberty or stalking. A child hearing, witnessing or otherwise exposed to any of the above A child can be exposed to family violence by overhearing threats, seeing or hearing an assault, providing or comforting assistance to a family member who has been physically abused by another family member, or cleaning up a site after a family member has intentionally damaged another family member's property.How does family violence affect parenting matters?Family violence can significantly impact parenting matters, as the safety and wellbeing of children are the Federal Circuit and Family Court's primary concern. In situations of family violence, courts may limit or supervise the abusive parent’s contact with the children. The court may also make orders for protection, such as supervised visits, restricted parenting time or no contact, to ensure the child's safety and emotional health. Recent changes to family law in Australia emphasise the importance of protecting children from harm, including the effects of family violence. Under the Family Law Amendment (Family Violence and Other Measures) Act 2018 and the recent 2024 Family Law Act Amendments, the courts now have a greater focus on the safety of children and family violence when making decisions about parenting arrangements.
