Domestic Abuse Lawyers, London

No one should ever have to live in fear or tolerate abuse and harassment. Did you know that domestic violence isn’t limited to physical abuse? It can also be emotional and financial manipulation and coercive control.

Verbal threats, isolating behaviour and controlling your access to money are also forms of abuse, and they are just as damaging and unacceptable. Our experienced family lawyers know the many forms that DV can take and are here to offer the legal protection and support you need to break free from an unsafe situation.

It’s always good to work with an experienced family solicitor, as they can handle your situation with compassion and expertise and support you as you move forward. If children are involved, we will help you get through these challenging issues with your family’s best interests in mind.

Recognising the Signs of Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse can occur in any relationship, not just intimate partnerships, and often escalates over time. While they affect both men and women, emotions are intensified when children are involved, so understanding these different types of abuse will guide you in seeking the right legal protection.

Physical Abuse

Any form of physical violence, such as hitting, kicking or even threatening harm, intended to cause fear or injury.

Emotional and Psychological Abuse

Verbal insults, manipulation, intimidation and attempts to undermine your self-worth or isolate you from support networks are all forms of domestic violence.

Coercive and Controlling Behavior

Domestic violence is more than hitting, screaming and swearing. It also includes restricting your movements, isolating you, monitoring your actions or controlling aspects of your life, such as who you see or where you go.

Financial Abuse

Controlling your access to money, preventing you from working or manipulating your financial independence.

Harassment and Stalking

Unwanted attention that causes distress, fear or intimidation, including persistent following, monitoring or contacting you against your will.

How Our Domestic Violence Solicitors Can Protect You

If you’re experiencing domestic abuse, legal protection is available to keep you and your family safe. At Nockolds, our compassionate solicitors can guide you through the legal steps required to put protective measures in place quickly and effectively.

Non-Molestation Orders - These orders prevent an abuser from threatening or harming you or your children. Non-molestation orders are legally enforceable, and breaching them can lead to imprisonment for up to five years.

Occupation Orders - If you need to remain in your home or exclude the abuser from it, an occupation order can ensure your right to stay safe within your property while preventing the abuser from returning.

Here’s how we can assist you:

Securing protection orders - We work with you to apply for non-molestation and occupation orders, ensuring DV victims are protected from further harm.
Emergency action - If you're in immediate danger, we will take urgent legal steps to diffuse danger and keep you safe.
