The Court has the power to make Orders to prohibit particular actions, or molestation in general. In respect of the family home, including the exclusion of a person from it or from an area around it, or allowing a party back into it.

Remedies are available to spouses, cohabitants or former cohabitants (including couples of the same sex), people living in the same household, relatives and non-cohabiting couples.

Situations of domestic abuse are inevitably traumatic and often require urgent action. We can sensitively advise you about your rights, help you to undertake the appropriate remedy for your circumstances and guide you through the relevant legal procedure.
