After a domestic dispute with my partner in 2021 I was served with an DVO last week (January 2024) with conditions that prevent us living together, including our son. After the incident in 2021 we had a few days apart then continued living together with no issues and had no idea the DVO existed. Why would the police take so long ? When we apply to vary the DVO and get a court date is it best\allowed to hire a lawyer to represent/ speak for us in front of magistrate? What to expect from this hearing? Thank you for any advise.
