We support clients at all levels of risk of domestic abuse seeking support through the court process but you you need to have had a recent incident that demonstrates to the court that you require protection from someone who:

  • you have been in a relationship with

  • or a family member.

You need to be committed to the process – the IDVA will explain what will happen so you understand the process before you start.

Circumstances when we may not be able to support you with a civil order:

  • Extending an existing Non-Molestation Order
  • If you are eligible for legal aid
