Coercive and Controlling Behaviour

Family law advice where coercive or controlling behaviour affects safety, housing or children, from solicitors in Billericay, Essex.

About Coercive and Controlling Behaviour

Domestic abuse can involve patterns of control over money, communication, movement or family relationships, as well as physical violence. The family-law response depends on the circumstances and the protection required. Criminal allegations and family court applications follow different processes and may need coordinated advice.

Key Points

  • Prioritise safety and use a safe way to make contact.
  • Record incidents only where doing so is safe.
  • Consider protection, housing and children as separate legal issues.
