Solicitors Domestic Violence and Abuse
Domestic violence—often referred to as domestic abuse—encompasses a range of controlling, coercive, or violent behaviours within a family or intimate relationship. In the UK, such abuse is taken seriously both criminally and civilly, with specific legal protections in place to help victims stay safe. Within the context of family law, solicitors focus on obtaining protective orders and safeguarding the wellbeing of any children involved.

What is domestic violence in UK family law?
- Physical or sexual abuse: Hitting, slapping, forcing sexual acts, or other forms of physical harm.
- Emotional and psychological abuse: Threats, intimidation, constant criticism, controlling finances, or isolating someone from friends and family.
- Coercive or controlling behaviour: A pattern of acts that harm, punish, or frighten a person, often cutting off autonomy and freedom.
- Financial or economic abuse: Restricting access to money, forcing someone into debt, or preventing them from working.
- Impact on children: Children can suffer direct abuse or be harmed by witnessing abuse between adults at home.
How can a solicitor help with domestic violence, and what does it cost?
A family solicitor can assist in several ways, including:
- Securing protective orders: Applying for non-molestation orders or occupation orders to keep the abuser away from the victim’s home.
- Advising on parental responsibility: Helping ensure any child arrangements or contact orders prioritise the safety and wellbeing of the child and the victim.
- Liaising with the police: Offering guidance on reporting abuse and gathering evidence for criminal proceedings, if necessary.
- Referrals and support: Connecting victims with charities, refuge centres, or counselling services to help them move forward safely.
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your case and your solicitor’s experience. Many solicitors charge £150–£300 per hour, though you may qualify for legal aid if you meet certain financial and case-related criteria (e.g., evidence of domestic abuse). An initial consultation—often free—helps you explore the best legal remedies, understand potential fees, and take the first steps toward safety.
