- Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse can take many forms. It is not limited to physical violence. It may also involve coercive behaviour, threats, controlling conduct, emotional abuse, financial abuse or harassment.
If you are experiencing abuse from a partner, former partner or family member, it is important to know that legal protection may be available. At Arthurs Solicitors, we provide sensitive advice and act quickly where urgent court orders are needed.


We understand that clients contacting us in these circumstances may be frightened, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. We will listen carefully, explain your options clearly and help you take practical steps towards safety and legal protection.
Where urgent action is needed, we will move quickly. Where a longer-term plan is needed, we will help you consider the next steps in relation to children, housing and any wider family law issues.
Emotional and controlling behaviour can be just as damaging as physical violence. Our approach is compassionate, but also firm and legally focused. We are here to help you take informed steps in a difficult situation.
If you need advice about domestic abuse, emotional abuse or urgent protective orders, contact our family law team in confidence.
