Frequently Asked Questions
We know that navigating the legal complexities of a domestic abuse situation can be difficult. Here you will find a small selection of questions that our clients regularly ask us:
What legal protection is available for domestic abuse victims?
Victims of domestic abuse can apply for legal protections such as non-molestation orders, which prevent an abuser from contacting or approaching them, and occupation orders, which can remove an abuser from the family home.
Our compassionate domestic abuse lawyers in London, Surrey, and Kent can guide you through this process.
How can I leave an abusive relationship safely?
Leaving an abusive relationship can feel overwhelming, but your safety and wellbeing come first. It’s important to plan carefully and reach out for the right support.
This may include seeking legal advice, finding a safe place to stay, and keeping essential documents secure.
You don’t have to go through this alone - our compassionate team is here to guide you through each step. We can provide clear legal advice, connect you with the right resources, and support you in making safe and informed decisions.
Can I get legal aid for domestic abuse cases?
Legal aid is available for certain domestic abuse cases, depending on your financial situation and the circumstances of your case.
Our solicitors can assess your eligibility and help you access the support you need.
What happens if my abuser breaches a court order?
If an abuser violates a non-molestation or occupation order, they may face legal consequences, including arrest or imprisonment. In these situations, we can provide legal representation and ongoing support to achieve a positive outcome.
