Domestic abuse is not simply physical violence. It can take many forms all of which can be equally terrifying. It can include verbal abuse, harassment, controlling behaviour, sexual abuse, intimidating behaviour or even financial abuse and control. The abuse can also vary in duration, sometimes being occasional but in other cases regular. The abuse can be actual or threatened.

Men can be the victims of domestic abuse just as well as women, children, parents and elderly people are also vulnerable.

Domestic abuse is unacceptable and if you are the victim of such abuse JC Solicitors can assist by helping you obtain the necessary orders you require from the court to protect both you and your children. We can also assist you with the practical issues by putting you in touch with the right professionals that can assist you with housing, claiming benefits and emotional support.
