Understand Your Situation
Securing urgent court orders to protect individuals and children from domestic violence, coercive control, or harassment.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 provides a broad legal definition of abuse, including physical, emotional, and economic harm. Victims can apply to the Family Court for protection through 'injunctions.' These are civil orders designed to stop the abuser from making contact or coming near the family home. In many cases, these orders can be made on an 'ex-parte' basis, meaning a judge hears the case immediately without the abuser being present.
Legislation & Rights
Immediate legal advice is critical for safety. A confidential discussion provides a clear path to securing urgent court protection.
Plan Your Defence
The two main types of protection are Non-Molestation Orders (to stop harassment or violence) and Occupation Orders (to decide who stays in the family home). Breach of a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence. Legal representation is vital to ensure the evidence is presented clearly to the court to meet the threshold for these emergency orders and to safeguard the family's long-term security.
Defence & Evidence
Specialist representation ensures that the necessary evidence is prepared swiftly to meet the strict legal requirements for protective orders.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
