My ex is abusive to me and/or the children, what can I do? ========================================================== If you fear violence or are subject to violence or abuse, the court can and will protect you. For victims of domestic abuse (be it physical, verbal, or emotional harm) the court can make two types of order - "[non-molestation](https://vardags.com/law-guide/applications-divorce-proceedings/non-molestation-orders)"orders and "occupation" orders, each giving you comprehensive legal protection. Non-molestation orders are supported by criminal sanctions. Breaking one is a criminal offence, and your partner can be arrested immediately if they breach the terms, even if they have committed no other crime. These orders are available whether you have been married to your ex-partner or not. Vardags are sadly used to supporting people in these frightening circumstances. If you fear domestic violence, we can help you get these orders and advise you on to how to best protect yourself. We will advise you on the appropriate medical and psychological evidence to put before the court and do all we can to build up the evidence in your case. In addition to court orders, we can introduce you to providers of specialist security so that you can have peace of mind in your home and elsewhere. **If you feel at immediate risk of domestic violence, please contact the police straight away.** About Us -------- Ayesha VardagFounder & President "ROLLS ROYCE SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH" Vardags offer a unique approach to the law, specially tailored to the needs of HNW individuals.

Brenda Hart Thanks to Emma and the team for the outstanding handling of my case. Throughout the months of my ongoing case I was kept informed and updated at all times never left wondering what was happening or where I stood. From meeting...
