Domestic Abuse

If you are suffering domestic abuse, we can provide you with advice and assistance about the options available to you, as well as advising about other support services which you may wish to access to help you come to terms with your experience.

Domestic abuse does not have to be physical, nor does it have to result in injury. It covers physical, emotional and psychological abuse. We understand the pain and distress caused by domestic abuse and take rapid action to ensure the protection of you and your loved ones.

The court can grant injunctions to protect you and these remedies are closely tailored to needs and specific situations.

We provide support in total confidence and will offer advice as to the legal remedies available, so you can make an educated decision about the next steps to take. We can obtain court orders to protect you from domestic abuse and exclude the perpetrator from your home. We also work closely with other organisations who offer additional support and advice throughout your case and moving forward.

If you are suffering from violence, threats or intimidation, there are two main types of injunctions which can be obtained:

  • Non-molestation order - aims to prevent your partner or ex-partner from using or threatening violence against you or your children. This includes intimidation, harassment and pestering you to ensure the health, safety and well-being of yourself and your children. 
  • Occupation order - an occupation order is used to decide on the occupation of a property, which means that one party may be required to leave the family home due to the impact their behaviour is having on the family.  The Court also has the power to order a party to pay the rent, mortgage or other outgoings associated with the property.
