- Threatening behaviour
How we can help

- domestic abuse protection orders
Our legal experts can also help you to:
- Seek divorce from an abusive partner

Reporting domestic violence
The first step is to always report incidents of domestic violence to the police. If court proceedings are necessary, the involvement - or lack of involvement - of the police would usually be an initial consideration for the court.
The court can make orders to forbid violence and harassment (known as non-molestation orders). A breach of a non-molestation order is a criminal offence.
When a power of arrest is attached to an occupation order, a breach can result in arrest.
