Our services for those affected by domestic abuse
Our domestic abuse solicitors provide comprehensive legal help for domestic abuse victims, offering guidance, protection, and reassurance during extremely difficult times.
Non-Molestation Orders
A Non-Molestation Order is a court order designed to protect you from harassment, threats, intimidation, or violence by a partner, ex-partner, or family member. It can prohibit contact, including texts, calls, and social media messages.
Our domestic violence solicitors can act urgently to obtain emergency Non-Molestation Orders, often without the other party being present. We handle the application process with care, ensuring you understand what protection is in place and how it is enforced.
Occupation Orders
An Occupation Order regulates who can live in the family home and can, in some circumstances, remove an abusive partner from the property, even if they own or rent it.
Our solicitors will assess your situation carefully and advise whether an Occupation Order is appropriate, helping you secure safe accommodation and stability during a distressing period.
Coercive Control
Coercive control is a form of domestic abuse involving patterns of manipulation, isolation, financial control, threats, or monitoring. While it may not always involve physical violence, its impact can be deeply damaging.
Our team understands domestic abuse law relating to coercive control and can help you document behaviour, gather evidence, and seek legal protection where necessary.
Emotional Abuse
Emotional abuse can include intimidation, humiliation, gaslighting, and repeated verbal harm. These behaviours are recognised under domestic abuse law and can form the basis of protective legal action.
We provide domestic abuse support that recognises the seriousness of emotional harm and helps you take steps to protect your wellbeing and legal position.
