Domestic Abuse can take many different forms and is not limited to physical violence. The government defines domestic violence and abuse as:
“Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse … regardless of gender or sexuality. This can encompass but is not limited to the following types of abuse: psychological, physical, sexual, financial and emotional”.
These types of cases and disputes can often be incredibly daunting, complex and difficult to deal with.
