What behaviour classifies as domestic violence?
Domestic violence is ‘any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality. The abuse can encompass, but is not limited to psychological abuse, physical abuse, controlling behaviour, sexual abuse, financial abuse or emotional abuse.’
We at Winrow Solicitors understand that this can be a difficult step to take. You may feel reliant on your partner for housing or finances and feel under pressure to stay especially when children are involved. Abusive partners will say the abuse ‘won’t happen again”, experience says this is unlikely. Protecting children is of utmost importance and to prevent them from experiencing domestic violence.

Domestic Abuse Protection Order
A Non-molestation Order
This is a civil injunction aiming to stop someone from using or threatening violence against another person with whom they have or have had a relationship. Threatening behaviour includes intimidating, harassing or pestering the person. The domestic abuse order may state that the person is not allowed to contact the other party or come within a certain distance of them. Breaching this order is a criminal offence.
An Occupation Order
A civil injunction that regulates who can live in the family home. The order can temporarily remove the abuser’s right to live in the home and can also restrict them from entering the area surrounding the home. A power of arrest is attached to the order in case the order is breached.
