The police have the power under the Crime and Security Act 2010 to issue a domestic violence protection notice this (DVPN) against an individual following their arrest at the police station and to apply to the local Magistrates Court for a domestic violence protection order (DVPO) if they believe it is ‘necessary’ to protect and ‘associated party’ from violence or the threat of violence.

The police will often apply for a DVPN in cases where a person is arrested and they decide either to take no further action against that person or decide to bail that person to return to the police station pending the outcome of a criminal investigation.

We can represent you at a magistrates court which deals with-

Legal aid may also be available if your income is below certain thresholds.

The making of a domestic violence protection order may have long-term effects on you even if you don’t want to attend court or are encouraged not to attend court to oppose the application.

Please contact us on- (0121) 788 1234 or (07956) 892507.

Should I bother contesting an application for a domestic violence protection order (DVPO)?

When the domestic violence protection notice is served on a person at a police station advising them of the date of hearing for the domestic violence protection order, the police will often indicate that the person doesn’t need to attend court.

We can attend court IN YOUR PLACE if you would like us to do so. This may be a useful alternative to you attending court if you have other commitments on the day of the court hearing.

We can make representations on your behalf and oppose the application in your absence.

Very often when we do that, the court will refuse the application for the DVPO. We have substantial experience in dealing with such cases.
