Domestic Abuse

Our Family Law team has extensive experience of domestic abuse within the context of our divorce and separation work, and in our private law children work.

What is Domestic Abuse?

Domestic abuse is not limited to physical violence. It can also include, but is not restricted to:

  • Coercive control and ‘gaslighting’ (gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation, in which a person may cause another person to doubt themselves, question their own memory, or judgement, resulting in significant changes in the targeted individual, such as low self-esteem).
  • Economic abuse
  • Online abuse
  • Verbal abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Sexual abuse

If you are experiencing violence, harassment or emotional abuse from a partner, ex-partner or other family members, we can help you to apply for a court order to protect you.

At TWM, you can talk to one of our specialist solicitors in complete confidence. Our Family Law team has extensive experience of these issues within the context of our divorce and separation work, and in our private law children work.
