Domestic violence and protection orders
Domestic Violence & Protection Orders – Legal Advisory
Our law firm offers urgent, sensitive, and confidential legal support to individuals experiencing domestic abuse. We help clients understand their legal rights and swiftly take action to ensure their safety and the safety of any children involved.
Domestic Violence Support
Domestic abuse can take many forms—including physical, emotional, psychological, financial, and coercive control. We provide compassionate and non-judgmental legal advice to clients in abusive or high-risk situations. Our priority is to act quickly to:
· Assess the immediate risks to you and your family
· Advise on your legal options and protective measures
· Refer you to trusted support services where needed
We understand the urgency and complexity of domestic abuse cases and are committed to providing practical, clear guidance every step of the way.
Protection Orders
We assist clients in applying for court orders to ensure their protection, including:
· Non-Molestation Orders: To prevent an abuser from using or threatening violence, harassing, or intimidating the applicant or children. Breach of this order is a criminal offence.
· Occupation Orders: To regulate who can live in or enter the family home. This can remove an abuser from the property, even if they are the legal owner or joint tenant.
Our team can act quickly to file emergency applications, often without the abuser being present (ex parte applications) and represent you throughout court proceedings.
Additional Services
· Advice on child protection and safeguarding measures
· Liaising with the police, social services, and other agencies
· Assistance with housing, financial relief, and support resources
· Follow-up legal support regarding divorce, separation, or custody
