Domestic Violence
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & HARASSMENT
Nobody should have to put up with Domestic Violence,
Abuse or Harassment by a partner or other family member. Our
Expert Lawyers can provide you with the necessary advice and
assistance to protect you from such Abuse.
Our Family Lawyers are often called upon to apply for
urgent Non Molestation Orders to curtail violence or other
forms of Abuse. The necessary Orders can often be obtained
from the County Court within 24 hours. If appropriate these
Orders are obtained without giving prior notice to the other
side – they are served with the Order soon after it is
granted by the County Court and the Local Police are
notified immediately of its existence. This ensures
that the Police are aware of the need to treat any further
telephone call from you to the police station with extra
urgency.
Domestic Abuse comes in many forms. It is not necessarily
limited to Violence or Threats of Violence – if you are in
any doubt whether the behaviour towards you amounts to
Domestic Abuse do not hesitate to contact our Family
Lawyers.
