Know Your Rights – When Should You Speak To A Domestic Violence Lawyer
he UK government defines domestic abuse as:
“Any incident, or pattern of incidents, of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality.“
It’s important to know domestic abuse can take many forms, not just physical or sexual violence:
Coercive control
- Isolating you from friends or family members
- Verbal degradation, undermining, dehumanisation, humiliation
- Controlling your day-to-day activities (where you can go, who to communicate with)
- Threats to you or your children
- Depriving you of medical care
Gaslighting
Manipulating you into doubting the perception of your reality by accusing you of:
- Confusing or incorrectly recalling past events
- Inventing past events
- Not thinking clearly and acting paranoid
- Imagining things
Financial abuse
- Not returning borrowed money
- Stealing money or other possessions
- Forcing you to overwrite financial assets, property, pensions or wills
- Taking benefits or pension payments from you
Taking the first step towards safety takes a lot of courage. If you’re in a situation where your partner or a member of your family is abusing you in the ways mentioned, then it’s important that you seek help, both from the police and from a family law solicitor.
How Can MHHP Law Help
We understand your relationship with your abuser can be complicated. Your solicitor will treat your circumstances with a caring and understanding perspective, guiding you through the steps towards escape from a traumatic situation.
We can help protect you from domestic violence by filing court orders such as:
- Non-molestation Order: An injunction that prevents someone from being violent, threatening, intimidating, or harassing towards you or your child(ren). Any breach of this order is a criminal offence with a penalty of up to five years in prison.
- Occupation Order: This determines who can live in the family home; it may prevent them from entering the home altogether, or restrict access to certain parts of the home. The order can also prevent the abuser from coming within a certain radius of the home.
- Prohibited Steps Order: An order that prevents the abuser from removing the child from your care or taking the child out of the country without your consent.
Your domestic violence lawyer will advise on what will work best in your particular situation, keeping you and your children’s mental and physical well-being at the forefront of every decision. You are in safe hands with us.
