Very sorry to hear and it seems to happen way too much. Cops aren’t interested in getting the real story or investigating anything. It’s easier to act like robots and hand out AVO’s like lollies without caring about the consequences they have on people such as yourself.AVO's are so easy to get but are harder to defend against. I had to cop one for a year because I couldn't actually fight it as i had no evidence and it went on a he said she said. They took her side and in the end I had to accept it but without admition, meaning their was no charges or anything recorded. Long story short, my ex got the AVO on me because she said I was harassing her. She used the call log on her phone as "evidence" against me to get it.
What the calls were, were me ringing to talk to my children or organise to see the children. Ever time I rang, she would either say that they can't talk now or were asleep and I'd have to ring back later. Sometimes she wouldn't answer at all. So there were days I had to call her 3 times in the day just to speak to the children or to organise to see them. See how easy it is to turn it against you.
I can understand how they might help some people but really it’s a piece of paper but has the potential to ruin many innocent people’s lives.
I just can’t fathom calling the Police and asking for an AVO because another bloke argued or even threatened me. I’d be so embarrassed
