Domestic violence and AVOs

Domestic violence and AVOs

Domestic violence generally occurs when a family member is violent and/or abusive towards another member of the family. Domestic violence is not limited to physical abuse. Often, domestic violence is less obvious, taking the form of verbal, emotional, sexual or economic abuse, threats or intimidation.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please contact one of our experienced solicitors at Foulsham & Geddes. We understand the challenges associated with domestic violence and can help you to protect yourself by applying for an Apprehended Violence Order (“AVO”) or negotiating parenting or financial orders if the matter goes to Court.
