Domestic abuse and injunctions

Family solicitors in Chester and North Wales

Our experienced family lawyers recognise the impact of domestic abuse, whether physical, emotional or financial, upon an individual when dealing with the breakdown of a relationship, children matters or both.

Our team understands the need to handle a matter sensitively and at a pace the victim of domestic abuse is comfortable with progressing their matter.

There are circumstances where the safety of an individual or children is paramount and urgent action is required to obtain an injunction to ensure their welfare. Our experts will make themselves available to make urgent applications to the Court for protective injunctions.

Protective injunctions may include a non-molestation order – an order to stop someone from taking a particular action like harassing or abusing you – or an occupation order to prevent a person occupying a property. These orders are not made by the Court lightly on an emergency basis but our family team has the knowledge and expertise to discuss the most appropriate course of action.

We are proud to offer a Legal Aid service to the victims of domestic abuse (where financially eligible) and our highly skilled family lawyers offer guidance throughout with a full and clear explanation as to the legal aid funding available.

Our team can help you with the following:-

• Non-molestation injunctions
• Occupations Orders
