Many people suffer domestic violence from their partners and often suffer in silence.   You do not have to put up with violence.

An example of some typical domestic violence situations:

• My husband hit me last night.
• My ex-boyfriend has threatened to kill me.
• My ex-girlfriend telephones me at work and follows me about in the street.
• I am frightened of my husband and I want him to leave the house.
• My partner treats our children badly and they are very frightened.
• My wife says she has paid friends to get me.
• My boyfriend has smashed all the furniture in the house.

At Sanders Witherspoon:

We will use the law to help you and your children to feel safe and secure rather than frightened or intimidated by your partner.

We ask you to tell us if you are experiencing problems and are frightened.

We will advise you about the protection you can get from court.

We will apply for Orders to protect you.

Emergency Injunction

If you need an Emergency injunction, our specialist team of Family Lawyers are willing and able to give absolute priority to your concerns and, if a court is available to hear your case, to obtain an Order within 24 hours of first speaking with you.

In cases of domestic violence, the court can make a “Non-Molestation Order” with a Power of Arrest, which gives the police the legal right to arrest anyone who disobeys the court order.  The Judge will often impose a prison sentence on anyone foolish enough to break a “Non-Molestation Order”.

We know that your children may need protection as well and that you may not want them to spend time with your partner who is violent.   We also know that your partner’s violence may mean that you want a separation or divorce.   We can help with all of these concerns.

How much will it cost?

We can discuss this with you when we meet.  You will be given full details in advance of how your costs will be calculated and we can carry out the financial calculations when we meet.
