Mary Basta
Head of Family Law
We understand the often-urgent nature of injunctions. Our family law team can assist you in identifying any potential risks you may be exposed to and advise how to best protect yourself.
Injunctions are explicit orders issued by the Family Court of Western Australia essentially signalling a firm ‘stop’.
They prohibit a party from engaging in certain behaviours or actions. Typically, they are sought to prevent an individual from engaging in conduct that could potentially harm another person or their overall entitlement in the proceedings.
An injunction can be temporary or permanent, depending on the circumstances of each case.
In the context of property disputes, an injunction might prevent a party from selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of an asset while the proceedings are underway, ensuring the preservation of the asset pool.
In matters involving children, injunctions may be sought to prevent a party from relocating the child outside the State of Western Australia without the consent of the other parent or Court’s permission. The overarching intention is to safeguard the child’s best interests.
(For injunctions directly related to an individual’s safety, please refer to our Restraining Orders page.)
If you need advice on seeking or responding to an injunction, please contact our experienced team by calling us on 08 9488 1300 or by emailing us via info@culshawmiller.com.au.
