Domestic abuse takes many forms and often involves threats, violence or harassment. Legal protection is available to you and any relevant children, on an emergency basis where appropriate.
Where your immediate safety, or that of your children, is threatened, you should always seek the immediate assistance of the police. It is also important that you are not left vulnerable to repeat incidents or continuing abuse in the long term. The courts can provide a solution to help stop the abuse from occurring again in the future.
If you live with someone who is subjecting you to domestic abuse, the court can regulate the occupation of your home and if you, or any relevant children, have been harmed or are at significant risk of being harmed, then the court has the power to exclude from your home the individual causing that harm, or putting you at risk from suffering harm.
We can also help protect you from harassment, intimidation or disturbance. The court can place restrictions on any person who may be engaging in such behaviour.
Our lawyers will provide you with legal advice and representation in court of the highest quality. You will be alerted to the remedies and protection that the law offers and the implications of any legal action that you take. We will also attend court with you and deal with every step of the process on your behalf and will ensure absolute discretion and empathy in the delivery of our expertise.
