dc.description.notesThis Victorian report examines the issue of women remaining in their own homes on leaving a relationship involving domestic violence, and removal of the perpetrator from the home. Legal options for removing perpetrators are discussed, notably exclusion and sole occupancy orders made by local and Family Law Courts. The tendency of local courts to defer property and children’s issues to the Family Law Court is identified as one barrier for women who wish to secure a sole occupancy order from the local court. Further, research indicates that some magistrates give greater priority to men’s property interests, than to the needs of women and children for safety. Major obstacles to women remaining in the home are discussed, including women’s inadequate sense of entitlement to the family home and the ineffective enforcement of intervention orders by police and the courts. The report identifies five strategies for the future: improving police responses to breaches, court-based advocacy services, accommodating perpetrators, domestic violence courts and law reform.en
