Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is any type of controlling, bullying, threatening or violent behaviour between people in a relationship and comes in many forms including emotional, sexual, financial and physical. 

It is not acceptable in any form and we have a highly trained and discreet team to assist anyone who is seeking advice or is subject to domestic abuse.

Emergency applications that can be made to protect someone subject to domestic violence.

• Protection from Harassment Injunctions – to prohibit any harassing behaviour.
• Non-molestation Order – forbids a person using or threatening violence and from intimidating, harassing or pestering another person.  It has a power of arrest which enables the police to arrest a person who breaches an order.
• Occupation Order – regulates the occupation of the family home in order to protect you or your children and can exclude a person otherwise entitled to occupy a property from doing so or from coming within a certain distance of it, or from coming within a defined area.

We can provide Legal Aid where domestic abuse can be evidenced by the Legal Aid Agency.
