Domestic Violence Protection FAQs
Here are answers to some common questions about our legal services for Domestic Violence Protection.
What is a Non-Molestation Order?
It is a court injunction that prohibits an abuser from using or threatening violence, intimidating, harassing, or pestering you. It can also ban them from contacting you or coming within a certain distance of your home. Breaching it is a criminal offence.
How quickly can I get legal protection?
In urgent cases, we can apply for an "ex-parte" order (without notice) on the same day. This provides immediate protection until a full hearing can be held. Your safety is our priority, and we act with urgency.
Will I have to see my abuser in court?
The courts have special measures to protect vulnerable witnesses. This can include separate waiting rooms, screens in the courtroom, or giving evidence via video link. We ensure these protections are requested for your comfort and safety.
What constitutes coercive control?
Coercive control is a pattern of acts used to harm, punish, or frighten a victim. It includes isolating you from friends, controlling finances, monitoring your time, or degrading you. It is a criminal offence, and we can help you take legal action against it.
Can I stay in the family home if I am being abused?
Yes. An Occupation Order can grant you the right to stay in the home and exclude the abuser, even if they own the property. The court considers the housing needs and safety of you and any children.
