Children and Domestic Violence
If there has been violence or abuse in a relationship, or if there
are problems involving children, you may need to involve a court
on an emergency basis. It might be necessary to seek protection
from a partner or former partner. We understand these problems
and can help you get that protection quickly by way of an injunction
or police assistance, often the very same day as the need arises.
We are able to draw upon many years of experience which allows
us to provide quick and accurate advice for every possible emergency.
Through the franchise granted to our
family team by the Legal
Services Commission, we are able to grant immediate public
funding to those on a low income, provided the circumstances warrant
it. This means, in most cases where emergency action is required,
we are able to issue proceedings the day we receive your instructions.
We have extensive expertise in cases
where an instant response is needed, such as: those involving:
- domestic violence
- threatening and harassing behaviour
- exclusion from the family home
- child abduction, both domestic and
international
- prevention of abduction
- allegations of neglect or violence
involving children
- interim financial arrangements
- the involvement of Social Services.
If you need immediate and urgent advice,
we will ensure that the earliest possible appointment is made available.
All of our understanding and sympathetic team can offer instant
assistance. We will provide representation at any type of court
hearing, tribunal or meeting involving professionals, such as the
police or the Social Services Department.
Partners Liz Oldham and Paul Owen focus
on Family Law, with Liz leading our family department team. For
further advice, and to discuss your requirements in confidence,
please contact her
team on 01582 514380 or e-mail family@machins.co.uk.
