I am scared of my ex-partner and do not want to talk to them or be in the same room at court. What can I do?
- You need to speak to your lawyer about this as soon as possible. Special arrangements can be made for you especially if there is an Apprehended Violence Order (or VRO) in place. Your lawyer may need to ask the magistrate for these special arrangements to be made so that you feel safe.
- You can also ask a friend or relative to come to court with you as a support person to help you to feel safe.
