Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse comes in many different ways and is not limited to physical violence.

Whilst physical violence is one form of domestic abuse, abuse also can be threats of violence, harassment, intimidation, sexual abuse, psychological and emotional abuse, financial abuse and controlling behaviour.

Many people are victims of domestic abuse, both men and women. Abuse may come from partners, spouses, family members or others.

Domestic abuse should not be tolerated and if you are suffering from domestic abuse, you should seek advice regarding your options and how you can best protect yourself and any children.

Our team of solicitors in Colchester, Essex can provide legal advice and assist in applying for protective Orders from the Court. For example, you may wish to apply for a non-molestation order (an ‘injunction’). A non- molestation order provides protection by prohibiting a person from acting and behaving in a certain way and also from instructing or encouraging other people to do so.

It is also important to seek support for practical and emotional issues and there are various organisations who can provide such support. For example:

Womens Refuge – www.refuge.org.uk

Womens Aid – www.womensaid.org.uk

Male support – www.mensadviceline.org.uk
