Orders that may fit your situation
Tick the items above that match your experience — matched orders will appear here.
Before you apply
- Speak to a solicitor — most family solicitors offer a free 30-minute consultation, and domestic abuse is an automatic gateway to legal aid.
- If you're in immediate danger, call 999. The police can apply for a DAPN on the spot.
- Start a private incident log — courts give weight to contemporaneous records.
- An IDVA (Independent Domestic Violence Advocate) can help you prepare an application — find one via Find help.
