Sometimes, as a result of stress relating to the separation of the parties, one or both parties demonstrate violent behaviour to the other. Sometimes there is family violence in the course of relationships where separation is not contemplated. It is important to deal with these issues at an early stage, as there is a number of organizations that can provide assistance for the aggrieved party and/or the party whose behaviour has caused distress.

Your solicitor can make you aware of every facet of Domestic (or Family) Violence, and he/she can direct your way through the court and help services system to achieve the right result for you, whether you are the person who has demonstrated violent behaviour, or the person aggrieved by such behaviour.
