Responding To An Intervention Order

• Agreeing to the intervention order
• Agreeing to an undertaking instead of the order being made
• Contesting the order being made
• ignoring the summons

There are examples of people in situations similar to yours that might have been far better off defending the original intervention order filed against them. Instead, they have either ignored the IVO or breached it in minor ways. In turn, breaching an intervention order that could have been contested, could result in criminal charges that may have been avoided. Knowing your legal rights, and contesting an IVO in a professional way may make the difference for you too.
