How Peace and Good Behaviour Orders Protect You

Peace and Good Behaviour Orders are designed to protect individuals from threats that cause fear for personal safety or property. These orders act as a legal safeguard and ensure that individuals have recourse to address escalating or harmful behaviours in a structured and enforceable manner.
These orders provide a crucial mechanism for preventing ongoing conflicts or potential harm, particularly in situations where formal intervention is the only viable option to maintain peace. To get a peace and good behaviour order in Brisbane, individuals must follow specific legal steps outlined in Queensland law:

  • Filing a Complaint: The process begins by submitting a formal complaint at your local Magistrates Court, detailing the behaviour causing concern.
  • Providing Evidence: Applicants must present clear evidence, such as written communications, police reports, or witness statements, to support their claim.
  • Court Hearing: The court will then review the evidence and, if necessary, hold a hearing to determine whether the order should be granted.

Each step requires careful preparation and adherence to legal requirements to strengthen your application. The benefits of Peace and Good Behaviour Orders include:

  • Legal protection against harmful behaviours that compromise your personal safety.
  • Create enforceable boundaries to deter further harassment or threats.
  • Maintain peace and stability in personal or community settings.

By understanding the purpose, process, and benefits of these orders, you can take informed steps to protect your safety and well-being.

Pre-Nuptial Bliss

The latest news about Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon and Forbes Rich List’s wealthiest person in the world, could have a lot of people re-thinking whether a timely prenuptial agreement may just be a very good idea. Bezos, whose net worth is estimated to be, on last count, around $136.7 billion, announced earlier this month that he and his wife, MacKenzie Bezos, are heading for the divorce courts. And guess what – they don't have a pre-nup in place. That means some judge is going to have to work out who gets what, and there's a whole big bunch of lollies on the table.

A Tough Job

Before you can become a plumber or a carpenter you have to undertake years of technical training, work under close and exacting supervision, sit for exams, and earn your ticket. No one gets to be a doctor, lawyer or accountant unless they first qualify for university, then study day and night for years, sit regular and sometimes arduous examinations, and pass with flying colours. But to become a parent, all you have to do is find a partner, cross your fingers, and hope for the best.
