This work covers legal protection and support for people experiencing domestic abuse, including controlling or violent behavior within intimate or family relationships. A solicitor in this area helps obtain and enforce protective orders, such as non‑molestation or occupation orders, and advises on related family matters like child arrangements and protective measures during separation. They also gather evidence, liaise with police and social services, and prepare applications for court hearings where urgent protection is required. The work often intersects with safeguarding and criminal compliance regimes, shaping safety and ongoing support for the client.
The solicitor drafts and applies for protective orders under the Family Law Act 1996, the Children Act 1989, and related provisions, coordinates police or social services input, and represents the client in hearings before the family and civil courts. They review risk, organise evidence such as witness statements and medical records, and navigate emergency protection procedures, asset and housing considerations, and possible family sanctions.
