Domestic violence can take many different forms and can happen to anyone in all types of relationship.
We understand the emotional and physical effects of domestic violence and offer a practical and sensitive approach.
Domestic violence is the pattern of controlling and aggressive behaviour from one person towards another within the contact of an intimate relationship.
People suffer domestic violence regardless of their class, age, race, disability, sexuality, gender or lifestyle. The abuse can start at any time.
Your solicitor can:
An injunction can prevent threats or use of violence, harassment and pestering. For example, it may forbid an ex-partner from making contact with their former partner, or from coming within a certain distance from the home.
If the Injunction is breached, the perpetrator (attacker) can be arrested with a warrant, and brought to the court within 24 hours.
Emergency injunction – your solicitor may be able to get an emergency injunction within 48 hours of reporting the incident. The perpetrator (attacker) will not be present at court.
Often people stay with their partner because they are worried about what will happen to the children. You don’t have to leave your children behind, they can go with you to a refuge.
Experiencing problems at home, can be difficult and distressing. You may be unsure how to proceed and may just want to find out what your options are before taking any further action.
