Legal proceedings against domestic abuse
At Alletsons Solicitors, we can provide you with legal help and advice to protect you from domestic abuse and violence.
Are you a victim of domestic abuse?
We offer a specialist domestic abuse service and have specialist accreditation. We understand that domestic abuse often goes unnoticed and unreported for many months and years, and that if you choose to speak to us about this, then it is likely to have been a very big step for you.
We will treat you sympathetically and with respect, and will go through all options with you, including seeking protection from the Police, and from the Civil Courts by way of injunctions (non-molestation orders, occupation orders and Harassment Act injunctions). If it is necessary and appropriate, we can help you obtain protective orders on an emergency basis. Legal aid is available in this type of case (subject to your financial position).
Alleged perpetrators
If allegations of domestic abuse have been made against you, we can help you dispute the claims. Even if you don’t dispute what has been alleged you might want to have a say in how the Police or the Civil Courts deal with the outcome. We can help you with that too. Legal aid is unlikely to be available to you in these circumstances.
This law is applicable to you if:
- You need protection from your abusive partner
- You’ve been wrongly accused
- You don’t feel safe at home
- Nobody is listening
Other help is available here:
Children - private
