Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is a pervasive issue that transcends all sectors of society, affecting individuals regardless of sex, colour or creed. It is a serious concern that requires immediate attention and action. At BWS Law, we are committed to providing support and legal assistance to those affected my domestic abuse.

We work closely with other domestic abuse organisations to help keep our clients safe and provide them with the support they need.

Recent years have seen a troubling increase in domestic abuse cases. This rise is not confined to any one demographic; it affects people of all genders, races, and backgrounds. The impact of domestic abuse is profound, affecting not only the immediate victims but also their families and communities.

Protective Measures Available

From a family law perspective, there are several protective measures available to those experiencing domestic abuse including:

Non-Molestation Orders: These orders can prevent an abuser from using or threatening violence, harassing, or communicating with the victim. They are designed to protect the health, safety, and well-being of the victim and any children involved.

Occupation Orders: These orders regulate who can live in the family home and can exclude an abuser from the property. They can also designate areas of a jointly owned property if that is a workable solution for your case.

Navigating the legal system can be complex and overwhelming, especially when dealing with the emotional, psychological, financial and physical impact of domestic abuse. Having a solicitor can provide several benefits:

  • Expert Guidance: Our solicitors can offer you expert advice on the best course of action and help you understand your legal rights and the options available to you.

It has been a real pleasure dealing with Claire Swinfield. Selling my house has been far less stressful than I had anticipated. This was because Claire helped me and was hard working, professional, polite and patient at all times. I would highly recommend dealing with Claire and the rest of the team at BWS. Kind Regards, Liz.

BWS was a tremendous help in assisting my wife and I resolve our house boundary dispute. Their advice and guidance was excellent and they were extremely thorough and professional. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

- I used BWS as my acting solicitors for my house sale and subsequent purchase of another house. - Erica was the acting solicitor and Reanne was the trainee solicitor handling my case. I am incredibly grateful for the hard work and effort Reanne has put into this case. It was not straightforward nor easy and yet she kept me fully apprised of the situation at all times, she was patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Reanne gave me confidence and reassurance that everything that could be done was being done to deal with the external challenges posed by this sale and purchase. Another point of appreciation to note is that when Reanne was out of the office, I was informed of who my case was delegated to, Nicole picked up the case and was equally as helpful as Reanne. I can only praise the service I received from Erica, Reanne, and Nicole, I would recommend BWS with confidence.
