Domestic violence may contribute to the breakdown of family relationships or it may occur because of a relationship breaking down. Whatever the case domestic violence can have direct and indirect effects on someone’s life, and it is important that you make the first steps to end the cycle of violence and break free. Our friendly and supportive family team can guide you in the right direction and explain the options available to you and your family in order to move on and make a fresh start.

How we can help

The decision to end a relationship, whether prompted by domestic violence or not, can often make the family situation more difficult rather than easier in the short term. However our team will be there every step of the way with expert advice and guidance at this emotionally challenging time. Many of our family team solicitors are members of Resolution - an organisation committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes, through a non-confrontational approach. Our solicitors encourage solutions that consider the needs of the whole family - and in particular the best interests of any children or dependants.
