Get in touch

Tell us where you are up to

A short conversation is usually enough to tell you what the order requires of you today and what your options are at the next court date. If you have been served, say which court and what date is on your paperwork, and say whether an order is already in force. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.

Please do not send detail about your matter before a conflict check. A short summary is enough to arrange a first conversation.

Enquiries

Through the form on this page. A few lines is enough: which court, the date, and whether an order is already in place.

Email

[email protected], if you would rather not use a form.

Before you send anything

Please do not send documents or the detail of your matter with a first message. A conflict check has to be done first, and a short summary is enough to arrange a conversation.

If an order has been served on you

Its conditions apply now. Follow every one of them, and do not contact the protected person to sort it out — not directly, and not through anyone else.

In an emergency

If you are in immediate danger, call 000.
