What is domestic violence?
Domestic violence takes on many forms, from physical abuse to emotional or psychological manipulation. Examples of domestic violence include:
- Physical abuse (punching, slapping, hitting and biting)
- Emotional/psychological abuse (verbal abuse, humiliation, blaming and isolation)
- Sexual abuse (rape and unwanted sexual contact)
- Harassment (being followed, being watched and receiving unwanted contact)
Domestic violence can affect men, women and children. If you are a victim of domestic violence it can often feel like you are trapped, with no way of escaping your situation. Many victims suffer for years without speaking out for fear of the repercussions.
What should I do if I am a victim of domestic violence?
Speaking to someone who can assist is the best way to change your situation. If you are at immediate risk of domestic violence, you should contact the police for urgent assistance. Thereafter, you should make contact with experienced Domestic Violence Solicitors, who can help you apply for Court orders to protect you and your home from threat. If required, Domestic Violence Solicitors can deal with an abusive partner directly on your behalf, as well as directing you to further sources of support and advice.
At Elite Law, our experienced Domestic Violence Solicitors can provide the understanding and expertise necessary to help individuals trapped in abusive relationships extricate themselves from their circumstances. We understand how distressing domestic violence is and deal with all cases with compassion and professionalism with a view to protecting the victim from further abuse.

Domestic Violence Solicitors for Injunctions and Non-Molestation Orders
Once you have contacted appropriately experienced Domestic Violence Solicitors, there are several steps that can be taken to help you resolve the situation. The first step is often to apply for a non-molestation order from the Civil Court. If granted, this order will prevent your abuser from harassing or threatening you or your children. To secure a permanent non-molestation order you will have to prepare a case and supply evidence of abuse. Our experienced Domestic Violence Solicitors can assist you with this.
It is also possible to apply for an emergency non-molestation order. This can be put into place immediately; however, it will only last for 28 days, after which time the subject of the order will be allowed to defend themselves in Court. If you are at immediate risk of violence, an emergency order can be a suitable option to grant you the time to prepare a case for a lasting order.
Domestic Violence Solicitors for Occupation Orders
An occupation order defines who can or cannot enter a property. As a legally binding order, should your partner break the terms of the order they can be immediately arrested. Applying for an occupation order follows a similar process to applying for a non-molestation order, whereby you must prepare a case to take to Civil Court. If granted, the Court will define the specific terms most suitable for your situation and will also consider arrangements for any children involved in the case.
