What is domestic abuse?

Domestic abuse is when one person behaves in a threatening, violent or controlling way towards their partner, ex-partner or family member. It can take many forms. It may extend to physical violence or it may be emotional, psychological, financial, verbal or sexual abuse. The abuse can be actual or threatened. Domestic abuse is very common and makes up almost 25% of all recorded crime across England and Wales.

It is crucial that you are represented by a specialist solicitor who can put a stop to this unacceptable behaviour.
