At Adel Jibs & Co Solicitors, we understand the devastating impact of domestic violence and abuse on victims and their families.
Our experienced domestic abuse solicitors are dedicated to providing expert legal advice and assistance to help victims obtain the protection they need through injunctions, including Non-Molestation Orders and Occupation Orders.
Swift Action to Ensure Your Safety
We recognise that in cases of domestic abuse, time is of the essence. That’s why our team is committed to taking swift action to secure your safety and well-being.
If necessary, we will take your case to court the same day you contact us to apply for injunctions, ensuring that you and your children are protected under the law from further violence or abuse.
Understanding Domestic Violence Injunctions
Under the Family Law Act 1996, victims of domestic abuse are protected through two types of injunctions:
1. Non-Molestation Orders
A Non-Molestation Order is a court-issued injunction that prevents the abuser from engaging in abusive behavior, referred to as “molestation.”
This term is not strictly defined in the law, allowing judges to exercise flexibility in determining whether someone’s behavior is abusive when granting a Non-Molestation Order.
Occupation Orders
An Occupation Order is another form of domestic violence injunction that can force the abuser to leave the shared home and prevent them from returning or coming within a certain distance of the property.
The court can also grant the victim the right to enter and live in the property or a part of it, while prohibiting the abuser from accessing the home or a defined geographical area.
At Adel Jibs & Co Solicitors, our experienced domestic abuse solicitors will assess your unique situation and advise you on the most appropriate injunction to ensure your safety and protection.
Taking the First Step
We understand that seeking help for domestic abuse can be a daunting and emotionally challenging step. You may feel guilty, afraid, or worried about making the situation worse.
However, it is crucial to remember that you are not alone, and our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way.
When you contact Adel Jibs & Co Solicitors, we will listen to your story with empathy and understanding, helping you build a strong case for obtaining the necessary domestic violence injunctions.
Many of our clients experience a profound sense of relief after taking this first step towards securing their safety and well-being.
Consequences of Breaching a Domestic Violence Injunction
It is important to note that breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence, even if no other crime is committed at the time of the breach.
If your abuser violates the injunction, such as by contacting you or attempting to see you, it is crucial to report the incident to the police immediately.
Criminal courts have the power to sentence an abuser who breaches a domestic violence injunction to a maximum term of 5 years in prison.
