General Chat

Oh, nice!! Do they say why they are unconcerned for the safety of their constituents Kemp? :-(

If they got Bail,What conditions were set by the police to protect you?

I dont know the conditions of the bail .

No one seems bothered about contacting us at all.

this is the second attack on us in a year in Feb it was me he attacked and said I attacked his mum ....he got of this time he told them my hubby did nout!

Still no call from HA

Oh this has been going on 15 years

Added ...in fact one person on here told me it was my fault coz I was a council tennant

Ask the Police what the coditions of their Bail was.You are entitled to know, Sometimes the get exclusion orders from the area.

Thanks Merlin I will get hold of them and ask

Tell them you are now frightened to be in your home.

Have you taken photos of your husband's injuries?

Might be useful when arguing your case to whoever you need to.

iT may have been more useful if your OH had gone to hospital straight away,,,,,,,,med evidence does along way,

The local county court can draw up an injuction for you to take cilvil action against him,,,

Did your OH press charges or offered to press charges.?

The Police took photos of his face and I will do more tonight coz its worse

We have been told by the 50 year old male he will kill us we told the police they did .......................................................

I dont like being here really

so Kay???? how do I deal with the county court can I do it myself ???

The Police are pressing charges the 21 year old adult told the police he did it!

Hi Kp, have you been referred to victim support,if not you should have been,i have suffered for 5 yrs with my next door neighbours son,he was given asbos and 6 mths suspended sentence he still continued when the 6 mths were up ,but will say victim support were good,they provided me with window alarms free annd one to one support .so contact them get a crime report number from the police that charged him.so the victim support group have something to refer to and keep a diary of all things that happen to you.time date etc,and if possible photo evidence as well.
hope this helps.best wishes

The following is a quote from a long reply on a Chat Board to a victim of domestic violence, a few years ago.

The cost may be changed, but the rest is probably the same. The advice will be free and you will be helped with the forms (short of them actually filling them in!!).Just go to your local County Court and tell reception what you want.

Don't be nervous - they are there to help. And the very best of luck!

*************************************************************************************

You can apply for a Non-Molestation Order from the local County Court. This court order can be used to prevent someone causing trouble, pestering, harassing or threatening someone deliberately either in person or through a third party. The cost is about £60 but this will be waived if you are on a low income. The order can take a long time if going through a solicitor but if you apply to the county court yourself and are competent in filling in all the forms you can get the order within a few days. If you use a solicitor you will also have to pay their fees.

Looking at this page

http://www.ncdv.org.uk/are-you-suffering-domestic-abuse/how-the-law-can-protect-you/

it seems that a non-molestation might not apply in your circumstances, it seems to be more for family members etc

"(2) When you can apply.

Applicant and Respondent are associated persons
This is determined by s.62(3) of the Family Law Act 1996 and covers most relationships, including:
Partners and former partners
Family relations (including in-laws)
People who live(d) together
People who have children together"

We do keep records but theres so much its quite overwhelming at times.

We dont have a county court in our town so will go to the next town tomorrow or at least find out where to get the papers

Thanks everyone this has really helped

victim support are also ringing me back later today it may be this evening .we have had a case officer before so prehaps they will still have our naotes

Its the Small Claims Court that deal with civil matters,,,,,,,there is bound to be one in your area,,,,,,,,,the police will know,a solicitor will know,,,,,usually there is a small claims court dept within a local county court,where all the local cases are heard,,,,,

A little GREAT news
Someone rang and can and will help they WILL help us sort the injunction and help us with the HA and help get the injunction in place

OMG Thank you ALL so much I printed this off and work through it all and it worked

THANK YOU THANK YOU :-D

Hope things work out for you.

One step forward! <3

Glad to hear your news - it must help to have someone who knows the ropes as it were. :-)

Thanks OFITG - this is so much more readable.

Fingers crossed that everything gets sorted.

With jobs put in for extra sercurity and cameras and possible injunctions they cant believe it has come to this ( coz I didnt tell them it would)
