Angelina, an Indigenous woman in her early 60s, was referred by a counselling service after ongoing violence and intimidation from her former daughter-in-law Greta. Despite a protection order in place since 2019, Greta continued to threaten and harass Angelina and her grandsons, who live in her care. The fear was so severe that Angelina sought social housing to avoid being found.
Caxton’s lawyer worked with Angelina to extend her protection order through the Magistrates Court until 2029, ensuring longterm safety. Alongside the legal work, our social worker provided counselling, safety planning and emotional support throughout the stressful proceedings.
With stronger legal protections in place and new safety strategies, Angelina feels secure and confident to move forward with her life. She knows she can seek immediate help if Greta reoffends.
