Domestic Violence

Helping You Break Free from Domestic Violence and Abuse

Experiencing domestic violence or abuse can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you need urgent protection, legal advice, or help securing your rights, having the right solicitor by your side can make all the difference.

At ASL Solicitors, our solicitors in Rochdale provide compassionate and confidential legal support to help you take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your loved ones. We understand how sensitive these situations are, and we’re here to guide you toward a safer future.

What is Domestic Violence and Abuse?

Domestic violence and abuse can take many forms, including:

  • Physical abuse – Assault, violence, or threats of harm.
  • Emotional and psychological abuse – Coercion, intimidation, or controlling behaviour.
  • Financial abuse – Controlling access to money or preventing financial independence.
  • Sexual abuse – Non-consensual acts, coercion, or harassment.
  • Harassment and stalking – Online abuse, threats, or following someone without consent.

If you are experiencing any of these, legal protection is available, and you can take action to remove yourself from harm.

Court

Legal Protection Against Domestic Violence and Abuse

If you are at risk, there are several legal measures available to provide protection:

  • Non-Molestation Orders – A court order that prevents an abuser from using or threatening violence, harassing, or intimidating you. Breaching this order is a criminal offence.
  • Occupation Orders – Determines who has the right to live in a shared home, which may require the abuser to leave.
  • Restraining Orders – Imposed by the courts following criminal proceedings to prevent an abuser from contacting or approaching you.
  • Emergency Injunctions – Immediate legal protection in urgent cases, including without notice orders where the abuser is not informed beforehand.
  • Child Arrangements Orders – Securing the safety and well-being of children in domestic abuse cases, ensuring appropriate custody and visitation arrangements.

Our solicitors in Rochdale can assist in securing these protections quickly and efficiently, ensuring that you and your family are kept safe.

If I could give 10 stars I certainly would! I’m not easily pleased but the service received from ASL in particular Alisha Saleem has been fantastic. She has been helping me on a few buy to let’s doing all the necessary legals. Compared to the other solicitors I have used particularly in the Wilmslow area they are so much quicker and efficient. Thank you so much will definitely be using ASL again.
