# When a DVO, a charge and a parenting case are the same facts.

BJH Law is a Noosa-based firm of three solicitors and two paralegals. The work that distinguishes the practice is not three separate shops. It is the file that sits in more than one court at once.

A protection order, an assault or strangulation charge, and a spend-time dispute can be built from one night. Each court wants a story. Those stories can destroy each other if they are written in isolation.

## What this page is for

- A DVO on foot plus a parenting dispute.
- A criminal charge running with a protection order and an FCFCOA file.
- Whether to consent to an order without admissions, and why that is not a family-law shortcut.
- What not to put in an affidavit while a brief of evidence is on foot.

Tone on this work is calm and specific. There is no value in scare copy. If you are in this position, call 1300 371 460 and say which courts already have a date.
