QLD Domestic Violence Order - Served with Notice of Appeal?

[Titanium]

The police took a DVO (Domestic Violence Order) out on my partner and I am the aggrieved. He tried to fight this in court and lost. He is now appealing this in a higher court and has told me the family court is going to serve me documents. Is this correct?

All documents relating to the DVO were posted so why am I being served this time? I called the police yesterday to ask if this is correct and they told me it was unusual and couldn't tell me what I was going to be served with. Can anyone shed any light on this to help me understand what is going on?

Hi Titanium,

I don't know why you would be served a court order. It seems odd to me. I think because your partner is trying to appeal, you should seek legal advice. Have you called Legal Aid Queensland? There is a fair bit of information about DVO in Queensland including contact numbers for legal assistance here: http://www.courts.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/162363/dv-fs-applying-for-a-dv-order.pdf
