Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is one of the worst things that can happen in a relationship, and it is extremely important to get out of this relationship as fast as possible
Often, it is not as simple as leaving the relationship – especially if you are married.
You will often be afforded certain benefits by the court if your divorce is caused by abuse
Domestic abuse counts as full evidence that your relationship has broken down, and is grounds for divorce and separation
Sterling Law will help you every step of the way, both in separation and in custody, and property and financial matters.

Injunctions/Restraining Orders

Sterling Law is also experienced in the field of injunctions, and getting you legal protection if you are being abused domestically
Restraining orders are typically divided into injunctions
There are two types of injunctions in the UK:
Non-molestation orders, which protect both you and/or your child from being threatened, harmed, or otherwise abused by the person who has abused you
Occupation orders – prevents the person who is abusing you from living, or being near to, your home or the area surrounding
Breaking these orders will lead to arrest
You will need to view this as a criminal case – which means the police will be involved in proving the abuse and making sure you are protected
Sterling Law will help you write and review your application for an injunction, and make sure that it is successful and that you can feel safe.
