FAMILY AND MATRIMONIAL
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence is distinguished from other kinds of abuse because of the special relationship between the persons involved; as such there is additional legislation which may be used to assist those who find themselves the unfortunate victims of such abuse.
Domestic abuse can take on many forms: actual physical abuse, threats of physical abuse, emotional abuse, threatening telephone calls, disturbances at a place of employment, stalking and other forms of dominance and control.
We can provide assistance and representation in the following areas:
- Injunctions (Non-Molestation Orders)
- Dealing with the occupancy of the family home (Occupation Orders)
- Powers of Arrest
- Enforcement
- Contacting groups offering support
In times of emergency, we can offer same day appointments and attend court to obtain injunctions.
We provide sensitive and realistic advice to those in need to help after suffering domestic violence or harassment. Our family solicitors are experienced in effectively dealing with these problems using prompt and supportive action.
