Domestic abuse may be physical or psychological and can include harassment or pestering. It may be inflicted on anyone in a relationship and also those whose relationships have come to an end.

We aim to give sensitive and empathetic advice, but will also discuss your needs and protection, including whether you wish for an application to be made to the Court for an injunction (non-molestation order) or occupation order to be granted. A non-molestation order prohibits the inflictor from coming near you and an occupation order can exclude the perpetrator from your home. We ensure that we are as discreet as possible if we need to contact you, especially if your partner is still living with you and you are worried about him or her discovering that you have taken legal advice.
