Q51: Will the police get an injunction for me?

No, getting an injunction is a civil matter dealt with by a solicitor. Only in certain circumstances will the police get involved; i.e. when you or your solicitor think the behaviour by your ex-partner/cohabitant amounts to a criminal offence. Co-habitants are couples who live together but are not married.

The National Centre for Domestic Violence can help in applying for an injunction for those suffering from domestic violence. For a link to this and other websites that offer further guidance and support, please see the links in Related Information.
