plekhanov Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 If you contact a group like the Sheffield Domestic Abuse Forum they should be able to give you more information on how to deal with harassment including injuctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairyNormal Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I had an injunction against my now ex hubby. It wasn't worth the paper it was written on as it had no power of arrest. So when he came to my flat and beat me up again, the police did nothing apart from tell him not to do it again. Absolutely worthless. So if you do go for an injunction, make sure it serves the purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 sounds about right, if you cannot get legal aid. I was quoted 2-2.5 K from a solicitor for injunction work,when I was ineligible, which I think is outrageous. In cases of DV, IMO, the support ought to be free. Years ago, I had a non-molestation, non-harasssment inj' out on my violent, psychopathic ex bf, My experience was pretty much the same as Fairy's... He was not permitted to come within 100 yards of me, nor was he permitted to approach me. It didn't stop him turning up, and attacking me, leaving me with a fractured cheekbone.

BoroughGal Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 PT - but surely the police arrested both your - and Fairy's - ex for assault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
