Information that is easier to understand
Family difficulties can leave you with a lot of questions. This website brings family law and domestic abuse topics together, so you can find a place to begin.
You can explore a topic, read at your own pace and use the links to look for specialist help.
This website provides general information, not advice about your individual situation.
What would you like to understand?
Domestic abuse
Abuse is not only physical. It can involve control, threats, emotional abuse or control over money. You can explore the GOV.UK information and support directory without completing an enquiry here.
Not sure where to begin?

Questions you may have
Is this website a law firm?
No legal service has been established for this preview. The site is being developed as an information resource. It must not be treated as a solicitor or a source of advice about an individual case.
Do I need to give my personal details?
No. You can browse without entering any information. The enquiry panel is a disabled layout preview and cannot send a message.
Does “Leave this site” remove my browsing history?
No. It takes you to BBC Weather in the same tab. It does not remove history, close other tabs or prevent device or network monitoring.
Where are the detailed guides?
The other pages will be added later. The homepage currently links to external information from GOV.UK and Citizens Advice.
