Any controlling and violent behaviour or threat that is intended to make you or your family members feel insecure and scared can be considered domestic or family violence. Domestic violence affects anyone and any relationship, no matter what the reason. We have a team of domestic solicitors at Aussie Legal Partners who have the expertise to deal with the following domains of domestic violence:
1. Physical Abuse
Any direct assault on the body caused by the use of a weapon, property destruction, or children and animal assaults in front of the family may be included in the physical abuse. It is among the very first kinds of domestic violence that anyone thinks about when they hear about “violence.”
We have the best domestic violence lawyers in Sydney who specialize in dealing with family law domestic violence cases in Australia. They will give you legal support and talk to you about the best course of action to take in your case to avoid further consequences.
2. Verbal Abuse
As it has been rightly said, a man is known by his words. Sometimes, your words can harm or damage a person, more likely through physical abuse. The act of abusing someone with words is considered verbal abuse. It may include taunts in private or in public to humiliate, degrade, demean, intimidate, and subjugate other person.
Our experienced and professional domestic violence attorneys understand how complex this matter can be. If you have a verdict of verbal abuse or your family member is involved in the cycle of verbal abuse, we will take care of everything.
3. Economic Abuse
Economic or financial abuse is the act of taking control of all the possessions or finances of someone. It is the act of illegally using the money without the partners’ consent, withholding their account information, or spending their money without their permission. In this controlling situation, the victim feels trapped, isolated, and vulnerable.
Our financial domestic violence lawyers provide legal advice and legal counselling to people across Australia. Whether you may have money problems or family law issues as a result of financial abuse, we will be your legal support in this situation.
4. Social Abuse
Social abuse is one of the most nebulous forms of domestic violence and can occur in many forms. It may include the action of preventing people from meeting certain people. The purpose of the abuse is to restrain them from leaving the house or to isolate them from their friends, loved ones, family, or other social friends.
However, social abuse takes place at home, which is why, according to the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012, it is difficult to determine precisely when social maltreatment occurs. However, if you find yourself in a socially abusive situation, consult with our domestic violence lawyers immediately to protect your rights.
5. Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse may involve any form of sexual contact or activity that may take place without the consent of another person, which may include rape, sexual assault, unwanted touching, or forcing a person to perform sexual acts. According to the jurisdictions of Australia, sexual assault is considered throughout the country.
People who are found involved sexually with another person without their consent will be charged with a sexual offence. Our domestic violence advocates provide legal help, court representation, and legal defence services to the persons who may be charged in court. Apart from this, we provide legal counselling and further information to the victim’s survivors.
6. Cyber Abuse
Any act of threatening other person online or spreading derogatory messages, false rumors, and confidential material about one partner to embarrass, humiliate, and defame them is called cyber abuse. It is a form of abuse that is perpetrated online within adolescent relationships. If a person gets involved in cyber abuse, they will be charged with a criminal offence.
So, if you’re a victim of or inadvertently involved in cyber abuse, our team of solicitors is here to protect you. From providing legal advice to defence support, our experienced domestic violence lawyers in Sydney can assist you in any way they can.
