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.
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:
