Our Expertise

Domestic violence

(Solicitors for Ipswich, Suffolk and East Anglia)


The Law has changed recently so that most people are now protected by the laws on domestic violence. Non-molestation orders can be made that prevents another person molesting a person or child and they can also prohibit particular actions and behaviour.


Occupation orders can be obtained that define occupation rights in the home, including the exclusion of the other party from the home or an area around the home. Such orders are obtained by taking civil private proceedings against the person. However, the police should still by the first port of call as they can arrest the offender and put in place bail conditions that offer the same protection.


The Harassment Act makes it possible for the police to arrest people who have committed two acts of harassment. These laws were brought in initially to help with stalkers but they can assist will all incidents of harassment.

Again, these actions are led by the police. However, often where unpleasant behaviour has begun, it can help for a solicitors “warning” letter being sent to put a stop to harassment. We can assist regardless of the person causing the harm - be it a spouse, cohabitee, relative or neighbour.


We can also deal with all issues surrounding divorce and separation, including children disputes, financial and property arrangements, as well as obtaining parental responsibility, other family matters including judicial separation, nullity and dissolution of civil partnerships, wills and buying, selling and transferring property.
