Domestic violence

Domestic violence and abuse can affect anyone, regardless of age, background or financial circumstances.

It is not limited to physical violence and can include emotional, psychological, sexual and financial abuse, as well as controlling or coercive behaviour. Abuse often occurs within intimate partner relationships, but it can also arise between former partners or family members.

You do not have to tolerate this kind of behaviour.

Our family lawyers are sensitive to the difficulties that surround domestic violence and have experience in complex cases.

One of our experienced family solicitors will be happy to assist you in your injunction matters.

Legal protection through the family court

The law in England and Wales provides robust protection for those at risk.

If you are a victim of domestic abuse, you can apply for:

A non-molestation order (often referred to as an injunction) which is designed to protect an individual (and often their children) from further abuse or harassment.
An occupation order to regulate who can live in the family home.
