Domestic Violence

Few issues are as important to our clients as protection from domestic abuse. It is an issue that crosses class and race. It affects not only the direct victim, but also any children, who may be traumatised by what they witness, and whose later adult relationships may be affected.

Family violence is never justified, and it is not necessary for anyone to tolerate being the victim of abuse.

Led by Penny Andrew, whose active involvement in organisations addressing the problems arising from domestic abuse have put her at the forefront of the profession locally, The Worcester Family Law Practice has developed ways of offering a speedy and effective response for clients needing protection from a violent spouse or other family member.

"it is not necessary for anyone to tolerate being the victim of abuse"

Urgent non-molestation injunctions and orders regarding the occupation of family homes can be obtained in most cases without delay. Many abused spouses find it difficult to break free from the abuser. An abuser will often work to make his victim believe that she is dependent upon him and cannot survive without him. Effective support through counselling or psychotherapy may be needed, and The Worcester Family Law Practice will be able to recommend an appropriate professional service.

Information about refuges and other support networks is also available.

Although most victims of abuse are women, men may also find themselves as victims. The services offered by The Worcester Family Law Practice are just as important and relevant to these men.
