In Glasgow, domestic abuse cases are taken very seriously, with various protective orders available to ensure the safety of victims. Family law solicitors play a crucial role in representing clients seeking these protective measures. One common form of protection is a non-harassment order, designed to prevent an abuser’s behaviour towards the protected person. This order can be granted for up to five years by the sheriff court, aiming to stop contact and harassment.

Another important measure is the exclusion order, which can remove the abuser from the family home, ensuring the victim retains their occupancy rights. Protective orders can take several forms, such as a non-molestation order or a protection order, and can be crucial in cases where children are involved.

Our family team can assist clients through the process of obtaining these orders, providing evidence of abuse and representing you in court. We’ll be there to support and guide you through the entire process.

Sheriff courts in Scotland have the power to grant these orders, ensuring that the safety and well-being of victims are prioritised. Protective orders are an essential tool in preventing further harm, allowing victims to rebuild their lives without fear and further violence. The police and courts work together to enforce these orders, ensuring that the abuser’s illegal behaviour is effectively dealt with, providing a safer environment for the victims and their families.
