What to do if you are subject to Domestic Violence
If you are subject to violence from your partner or spouse then we advise you to do the following;
- Contact the Police immediately for assistance. The Police may intervene and arrest your spouse or partner if a criminal offence has been committed e.g assault.
- You must contact a Family Solicitor preferably a member of Resolution (previously called "The Solicitors Family Law Association"). The Solicitor will advise you in connection with your rights.
