Domestic abuse allegations can arise in a variety of contexts. They often involve personal relationships where emotions run high and evidence may be contested. These cases cover both physical and non-physical behaviour, including:
Assault or threatening behaviour
Coercive control within relationships
Emotional or psychological abuse
Financial control or exploitation
Sexual abuse within domestic settings
Even before any conviction, being accused of domestic abuse can lead to serious consequences such as restraining orders, restrictions on seeing family members, and reputational damage. Acting quickly is essential to protecting your future.
