Domestic violence comes in many forms and includes not only physical assaults but also threats of violence, harassment, mental and verbal abuse. All forms of domestic violence are unacceptable,
If you are a victim of domestic violence, you should seek immediate legal advice. Where appropriate, we will apply to the court on your behalf for a non-molestation order, which prohibits the other party from using or threatening to use violence against you, or from harassing, pestering or annoying you. If necessary, we can also seek an occupation order, which will result in the exclusion of the other party from your home, so as to allow you to enjoy peaceful occupation of the property in which you live.
If you require the immediate protection of a court order, whether for yourself or your children, we will take you to court right away, without notice being given to the other party. The personal safety and well being of you and any of your children is of paramount concern to us.
If you are suffering from domestic violence, do not hesitate to pick up the phone and talk to us.
