Requests for help in domestic violence situations are prioritised. Abuse can be physical, sexual, or psychological, and may be inflicted by a partner or former partner, relative or child.
We can apply for an injunction to protect you, typically without notice being given to the other party. Legal aid is available for victims of domestic abuse.
The eligibility rates are higher than other family cases and you may be eligible for legal aid even if for example you are employed/self-employed subject to you paying a small contribution.
