Domestic abuse

Your challenges

Domestic abuse can affect anyone regardless of their gender, race, religion, marital status or age. It can be very damaging to any children who are involved either directly or by witnessing the suffering of a family member.

Whatever its nature, abuse is unacceptable and it should be stopped.

How we can support you

Members of our team will identify the most appropriate course of action in your case and will be able to represent you if court proceedings become necessary. If court proceedings are necessary, we can help you secure an order:

  • Allowing you to return to your home
  • Stating that the abuser must leave your home
  • Stating that the abuser must not assault or harass you
  • Preventing the abuser from coming within a certain distance of your home

Obtaining these orders means the arrangements are legally binding and a breach can be a criminal offence. This means that you are protected as much as possible.

The strength you need

Our family solicitors are very experienced in this area of law. We understand your situation and offer advice, representation and support to ensure that anyone who becomes a victim of domestic abuse is protected. Each case is different. Sometimes a letter may be enough to prevent abuse from happening again. In other cases, an injunction may be necessary to prevent any more abuse and to remove the abuser from the home.
