Domestic Violence Domestic violence covers a wide range of situations where one person, either male or female, in some way harms another person with whom they have a form of relationship. This not only includes physical violence, but also verbal abuse, mental abuse, pestering, bullying and also harassment. Domestic violence can occur in a range of intimate relationships but can also include situations such as relative abuse within extended families. All are difficult and distressing to deal with. If you have experienced domestic violence Understand that domestic abuse is never the fault or responsibility of anyone except the abuser. No one should have to suffer violence or abuse in any relationship. Your very first action if you feel threatened or fear for your own safety and/or the safety of your children is to phone the police immediately. After this initial step, when you are ready, there are other positive actions you can take.

There are several legal ways to prevent your abuser from continuing to hurt or harass you which we can advise you on. Injunctions An injunction, such as a non molestation order or occupation order, is a civil court order which can be used to help keep you safe. It places legal restrictions on your abuser to try to prevent or limit any further violence. Injunctions can be issued for various reasons, the most common being for domestic abuse related incidents, such as assault, harassment or threatening behaviour. Our solicitors can assist you in obtaining injunctions through the courts and explaining the options available to you.
