Nobody should live in fear of domestic abuse which can include psychological, physical, sexual, financial and emotional abuse as well as coercive and controlling behaviour.
We appreciate that not everyone wanting to escape abuse will feel comfortable accessing publicly funded services nor will they necessarily qualify for legal aid. Our family law solicitors will be able to assist you in looking at your options and explore what steps you may wish to take.
We are passionate and committed to helping our clients find a solution to escape an abusive situation to enable you to move forward in your life. Our family law solicitors are members of Resolution, an organisation committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes through non-confrontational communication. Sometimes, applying to the court for an order is not the right option for you. We have positive connections with other organisations who may be able to help you.
If you are concerned about domestic violence you can put the police on notice so that they can treat your call as a priority. Obviously if you are in immediate danger then the police need to be called.
Domestic abuse affects the whole family and has devastating effects. If you are concerned about a family member or friend, the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS) enables you to ask the police to check whether a new or existing partner has a violent past. If records show that an individual may be at risk from a partner, the police will consider disclosing the information. The disclosure can be made if it is legal, proportionate and necessary to do so.
