Domestic Abuse Protection Orders (DAPOs) in England are civil orders designed to protect adults and children from ongoing domestic abuse. A solicitor helps obtain or respond to a DAPO via the family or civil courts, typically the Crown Court or Magistrates’ Court, often alongside police involvement. They gather or review evidence, draft applications or responses, serve documents, and negotiate terms that restrict contact, establish safe housing, or require attendance at support services. The order can influence emergency protection and ongoing safety planning for the client and any affected family members.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A DAPO involves specific risks and potential breaches with serious consequences. A solicitor ensures requests are supported by evidence, prepares statements, coordinates with the police, and represents the client in court while safeguarding rights such as attendance and cross-examination. They also assist with future variations or discharge, and advise on enforcement and protective measures.
