Types of situations we regularly handle:
We regularly assist people who need urgent protection from violent ex-partners who won't accept the relationship is over. Many of our clients are dealing with former partners who have escalated from emotional abuse to physical threats or violence, particularly during separation periods when the risk is often highest.
Our emergency applications often involve complex situations requiring multiple types of orders. For instance, we frequently help mothers who need non-molestation orders for their own protection, occupation orders to secure the family home, and prohibited steps orders to prevent their ex-partner from removing the children from their care or taking them abroad.
We also handle cases involving family members beyond romantic relationships - adult children seeking protection from abusive parents, elderly people being intimidated by relatives, or siblings dealing with threatening behaviour over inheritance disputes. These family situations often require careful consideration of which orders will provide the most effective protection.
Our Emergency Response Process:
When someone contacts us in crisis, here's how we prepare their emergency application. We immediately assess the level of danger and gather essential information about recent incidents, existing threats, and any children involved. Our priority is getting the paperwork to court within hours, not days, so we work intensively to document everything the court needs to grant immediate protection.
We've helped achieve emergency orders within 48 hours in urgent cases, including situations where clients were in immediate physical danger or had received credible threats. Most of our clients receive the protection they need, with courts recognising the thorough preparation we put into presenting their cases clearly and compellingly.
